I own a small software company although "small" may be too grandiose word 
to use, and my forte is user interfaces.  Thus when I find a 'bad' software 
package I like to warn people about it.

I down loaded RealOne but it is too too fussy and has the usual loads of 
totally annoying-in-your-your-face options.  I decided to un-install 
it.  Guess what?  Like our friends at AOL they make it extremely difficult 
to get rid of it.  I tried using GoBack which took me back to were my drive 
would be before installing - but RealOne still popped up.  It would not 
allow me to switch to Win Media Player.  So in desperation I deleted the 
directory (which has to be done file by file) then used Norton Win Doctor 
to repair 49 errors caused by this rash procedure. But I am now FREE.  My 
advice is not to use RealOne unless you really really want it.

Regards
Barrie
