Jadeygurl39 | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 02:16 pm     I wish I was a computer geek because I am totally in the dark. RealONe sucks. I have cable modem and RealOne was working great until last night. I am not able to watch BB3 online at all. I have called tech support at REalone and they are clueless. Can anyone help me? |
Sage | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 02:57 pm     Sometimes, my RealOne crashes, meaning I get a dialog saying that it has performed an ileagal operation. When that happens, the program closes down, and cannot be restarted unless you reboot your computer. Jadey, if your problem isn't/wasn't related to a "crash" of the program, then I would uninstall and reinstall RealOne, and hope that fixes it. I sure hope that you find the problem and can get it resolved. |
Jadeygurl39 | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 04:39 pm     Sage, I did uninstall and reinstall. I called RealOne and blamed my ISP. My ISP is RoadRunner. I have cable modem. They were very kind but said it wasn't my cable modem. I totally think it is RealOne. Do you think RealPlayer 8 would work? I appreciate you responding. Noone else has and taking the time is truly a kind gesture. Much thanks. |
Sage | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 06:14 pm     Jadey, I really have no clue as to why RealOne isn't working for you. Hopefully, someone here can be of more help. Good luck! |
Jadeygurl39 | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 09:45 pm     Sage, once again thanks for at least trying or saying something to me. I was so embarrassed but I had a friend from work come over. He found that I had a conflict with Real Aracade games that I just installed a couple days ago. I had no idea it messed up my BB3 . All is good again and I am very very happy. Thanks again, Jade |
Spygirl | Friday, July 19, 2002 - 09:52 pm     So glad you got it fixed, Jadey! I would have never figured that out! Thanks goodness for friends..hehehe  |
Sage | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:33 am     Hooray, Jadey! I'm so happy you got it fixed!  |
Jadeygurl39 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 10:47 pm     Thanks Spygirl and Sage |
Jarryjayo | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 11:19 am     same problem here, realone likes to crash one every so often, it seems to happen to me at most during start up of the player it's self. I have two main computers system, one a older 500mhz windows 98 wiht 256mbs of ram. on another pc, running Windows XP 1.8 mhz 512mbs of fast rdram. with a newly installed copy. both systems crash at times when the player is loading and before big brother even starts at times. I think I found a way to fix this, or so I've found that works for me. and it's really simple. just don't let it load the real one browser. turn it off by first hiting the tools tab, then going into the Preferences settings. then hit the tab under general , under on startup, select it to not load browser. Then close all that and for the last time book mark all of the feed links, do this by one at a time loading each feed and hitting bookmark, make sure it is the feed your book marking and not the site link. test them before you close the browser. then under the browser in real player hit Manage Favorites and copy and past the links to the big brother feeds to your desk top, close the browser forever. if you need it in the future just hit view and select web and it will come back up. I keep all the feed links on my desk top and never need that stupied webbrowser again that is in the real player. if you wanted to you could copy the url for the realone main page and past it into say explorer browser and get links that way. I think that is what is crashing the player. but it would be smart to clean your system first before you install real player meaning defrag and scan for lost disk errors on the drive. if there are lost files on the drive and you install a software program on that part of hte drive sometimes that can cause programs to react strange and not work right, meaning give you errors. but I think this is just crappy software writing, I keep both of my systems clean and reinstall both operating systems every 6 months to get rid of old software drivers and unneeded junk. Mind you I never have the problems I had with real player before. |
Diamonddiva | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 06:46 pm     Why do I keep getting the message "can't find web site" when I try to acees lfp's and other threads on discussion boards. It is only some of the links that I am getting that message from. It seems sort of random. I reeeaaallyyyy need to access lfp's---am going thru withdrawal and it is not pretty! Thanks! |
Ryn | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 05:33 am     hmm - hopefully your problems have been resolved Diamond..... it was shortly after your post that Bomis got some issues figgured out with above.net. |
Itsallgood | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 03:03 pm     My problem with RealOne is when I go to Max (large screen) it's really blurry, but when I'm on the small screen it's ok but I have to look really hard? Any suggestions? TY |
Draheid | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 03:30 pm     Itsallgood: My suggestion would be to play with your video settings. Lower resolutions will result in a larger, hopefully still clear, image on a normal screen. Also, try enabling 'video optimization' within RealONE's tools - video settings. Sometimes Real can work your video card better than standard drivers. Not always though, as you might have an incompatible card that won't work properly. Hope this helps. |
Itsallgood | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 04:13 pm     Ty Draheid...tried all the above, I must have the wrong video card. :-( Guess I'll just have to squint...LOL |
Draheid | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:10 pm     Itsallgood: Have you considered running your screen at a lower resolution and the RealONE at 1x size. At 800x600 resolution, it takes up a considerable amount of the screen, but it's much easier to view. I run 1280x960 and typically have the real window sized to 150% and dno't have too much trouble viewing it that way. You might also need to check your color depth. I run 32bit 'HighColor' mode on everything. Again, hope this might help. |
