angel I cannot give you any advice not having any techie knowledge but I can say that I had that problem my first couple of days. I tried all the remedies you said and nothing. So I did what I always do..shut down and left it down overnight...the next day , as usual for me, things worked fine. I don't know why...maybe it needs a longer rest than just a cold boot to lose the memory?? that's just a wild guess..but so often things seem to work after 12 hours of non use.

so maybe all will be OK tomorrow?

Angel: You might want to try two things: first go to the "Real Issues" thread and look through it. I recall someone else having the same problem. But I can't remember how or if the problem was solved. And then, I'd say, uninstall Real and re-install it. Hopefully that will help.

Sassylady,

Just before BB started I tried to watch a promo from the CBS site...I would get 'connecting' forever and then the crash. I could not sign in at all.

Read this..
Real Player May Cause an Error Message

What I did was uninstall RealOne Ver 2 and installed RealOne Ver 1.

No probs since..

Where to get Ver 1

Real Player Older Versions.

Now, this may not be your problem, since you don't mention an error message. It may be just network congestion, bad connection etc.

Please don't take this as an instruction to do this, it is only info to read.

Post back, there are others on this site whose knowledge far exceeds mine.

How do I get rid of the freaking chat box to the right of the feeds?

Right click on the live feed and click off 'show related info'.

Ok...I need a little help.
I'm on a dial-up and using the feeds from the BB CBS site. and also using the 28K feeds.
My sound is awful!! sometimes it's pretty understandable, other times, skips, and has echoes.
The picture is most of the time choppy and real blurry, and seems to stand still.
Is that the normal for dial-up modems?

I have DSL and i sometimes get digitized sound and echos. I have found that it happens more if I hven't rebooted in a while. I shut everything down and restart and things are better. Thinking about it now I wonder if just closing RP and then reopening would help....

Bbwannab, when I was on dial-up with the feeds last year, I got for the most part either still or real choppy video. But I never had a problem with the sound.
