Is anyone else have trouble signing on to Real Player? Very frustrating. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as I had been getting error messages. Now I can't even sign on to the darn thing. It says "service unavailable". Anyone else having this difficulty?

What's BBviewer? I don't have the feeds, but I can't get House Calls to stay on for more than 2 minutes at a time. It tells me I have a problem with my internet connection, but I have DSL. I'm not computer literate at all and I don't know what to do.

I had this exact same problem. Here's what I did:

click start, click run .. type in msconfig and enter

under the general tab make sure the 'load startup' in NOT checked. reboot.

Real should load just fine.

Here's what I did. I uninstalled RP. Then I downloaded and installed it again. However, I downloaded the WRONG player, the free player, to which I did not realize at the time. Went to live tech support at rp. They were of absolutely NO help,,you'd think I was the first one who ever called with the problem. Thought about it, and it occured to me there were two downloads, and I may have done the free player by mistake. Uninstalled again, reinstalled...and has been purrfect ever since.

I can't get Housecalls either this year and I have DSL. Which one do you check instead of load startup, Beffylou?

I'm going to try checking diagnostic and see if it helps. Thanks.

Yahoo! I got a whole housecalls! I hope this works on the feeds as well, as they time out constantly. I have to redownload; reboot and I get two hours. Then, I have to go through the whole thing again and it still doesn't work. I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks again, Beffylou.

Help - I cannot get the Live Feeds to work. I was able to get about 5 minutes this morning when they were all sleeping but that has been it. I have been to RP's support page and did everything they suggested, but it was pretty much a waste.

Has anyone found any secret tricks to make this work?

I am on a PC.

It just sits there tryin to connect and then after a few minutes, I get a server unavailable message.

I deleted RP and dowloaded and re-installed again. And I changed all the settings that were recommended on the RP website.

The bad thing is that as soon as I signed up for Superpass with the 14 day trial, it worked just fine. Unfortunately, the houseguests were all sleeping. I got the thrill of george snoring for 5 minutes and then nothing.
