    Dowloading with Real player problems

    I used to be able to download a file by clicking on it and a window would pop up through real player and it would tell me like how much space I had and things like that and would save it to a specific folder. Now I have to right click and save it, any idea how I can get it back how it was.

    I can still do it with wmv files but not avi or anything else.

    Thanks guys

    I recommend you try VLC player. I had it for over a year and I highly recommend it. It plays any video file. I don't think I ever came across any problems with it. It's completely free and easy to use. If you want, can link you to it.

    try reinstalling the real player itself and maybe this will reverse what happened.

    I recomment VLC Player/ it works for all file types (Audio and video). I had it for a year at least and never had a problem with it. I highly recommend it.

    Does the vlc player have a media browser like real player has?

    I have tried redownloading real player and still does the same thing.

    I dont understand why it will download certain older files but newer stuff it wont.

    No it does not have any browser. Why not stick to real player.....it's good and far more better than vlc...

    Try installing version 10. As far as I know it had a feature that let you download videos from the web.
