Download the basic RealPlayer software 100% free. This software will

download from Google's fast servers. Google Pack will easily install

RealPlayer on your PC.

 

OR

 

If you sign-up for a free trial of Real's premium service SuperPass, they

will give you the RealPlayer Plus ($20 value) for free. Credit card is

required but won't be charged during the 14-day free trial. You are free to

cancel within 14 days to avoid any charges. If you cancel, the player is

yours to keep.

But Kenny, that isn't waht the OP asked .......

No-one else has actually asnswered him so here is

the link for the FREE Real Player version

(Genuine and NOT and old / alternate version etc.)

NO Credit Card is required !

 

http://tinyurl.com/2op9gq

(The original URL is so very long)

 

Please pay attention to ALL the options at install

time and make sure that you untick all the boxes

for all the additional bloatware that you will not

need or want. Make sure that the player does

not grab all the file associations by unchecking

those boxes in the options that are not needed etc.

Well Ron,

you claim to have been a "MS MVP" for ten years, and yet

you still are top posting multiple messages, once again making

it difficult to follow, for the "Lurkers".

 

Aside from that your "advice" is confusing and actually did

not answer the OP's question. You answered some other

question.

 

At the risk of boring the onlookers in the Forum................

 

OP. Wrote ............

"It seems RealPlayer latest version is not free anymore(only trial 14 days).

Anywhere I can download the free one? "

 

You wrote advising that the OP should either install some

Google pack bloatware or give over credit card for the

Real Player Spam / pressure sales service., and Oh yes

if he remember in time, aad go through a whole

rigmarole, he can get some old cut down version of

the previous pay version free.

 

The other Top Posting so called MVP gave a link

to an archive of older versions of Real players,

which contained the warning...................

 

"Note: These are old versions of our player software

and in most cases they are no longer supported."

 

This may be alright for the geek-like among us

but for the OP, I feared that this was not only

confusing (which version to choose ?), but also

once again not really answer the OP's question.

I mean he did ask for the "Latest Version".

 

Obviously the latest Version will be the Beta

of version 11 which is available free, and therefore

fills the criteria of the OP, without any other

bloatware.

 

The OP then asked if you had tried this,

to which you replied ..........

 

"Nope--don't use the product."

 

which obviosly completely baffled

the OP, considering his reply.

 

So you recommended a product / link

which did not actually fit any of the

criteria requested, by the OP, and one that

you admit to having never tried, and

finally after having confused the OP,

and totally ignoring Forum Posting

sequence etiquette by continually top

posting, you criticise myself for actually

posting a link which did fill all

of the criteria that the OP asked for.

 

 

Good grief !

 

Anyway here is the link I gave again for the

Lost and Confused..........................

 

http://tinyurl.com/2op9gq

 

Real Player version 11 Beta,

Free !!!!!!!

Latest Version !!!!!!

 

Good Luck :-)

 

I shall not reply to further posts in this

thread unless the OP should specifically

like to ask a specific question.

So you're telling people who may not have too much computer experience to

put Beta software on their machines, will you also help them when this

Beta software trashes their machines or causes other problems ?

Answers in line.

> Well Ron,

> you claim to have been a "MS MVP" for ten years,

 

No claim about it John--it is a matter of record. If you use google.com,

you can see my first post as an MVP was made on 1 Jul 97 in a W95 newsgroup.

> you still are top posting multiple messages, once again making

It is you bottom posters that make things difficult in my view but I don't

complain about it nor chastise people for bottom posting. Top posting is

only difficult if that's the way you make it. When I read a thread, I do

not start in middle--I start with the original post. Then, if the next

poster is a top poster, I immediately see what that person has to say

instead of having to scroll down to read the post. What's so difficult

about that? As a matter of interest (or maybe not), I started out as a

bottom poster and at some point in time I saw that I did not like following

somebody else's stupid rule so I changed.

> Aside from that your "advice" is confusing and actually did

Confusing to whom--you? The rest of your statement is incorrect.

I did not advise him to install anything. I gave him complete information

on how to get what he wanted plus additional information on the deluxe

version. He did not list any qualifications except that it had to be free.

That qualification was met.

> The other Top Posting so called MVP gave a link

Off topic--does not apply to me. Looks to me like you have something

against MVPs.

> Obviously the latest Version will be the Beta

> of version 11 which is available free, and therefore

You are unbelievable--recommending a BETA program that undoubtedly expires

and may be full of bugs and then having the nerve to criticize other

posters' recommendations. Outstanding, John--just outstanding !!!!!!

> The OP then asked if you had tried this,

> to which you replied ..........

My answer could have been clearer: Nope--*I* don't use the product. But,

there really was no reason for confusion. If I did not want him to use the

product, why would I tell him where to get it? And, if I thought he should

not use it, I would have provided a well reasoned argument supporting my

position and not just said, "don't use the product."

> So you recommended a product / link

> which did not actually fit any of the

> criteria requested, by the OP,

 

I did not recommend a product--I told him where to get it. His only

criteria was FREE: the criteria was met.

>and one that you admit to having never tried,

 

What do you want me to do, lie and say I use it? He is the one that wants

to use it so what point are you trying to make?

 

and

> finally after having confused the OP,

> posting,

 

The etiquette must have been written by some brain dead person who decided

that his way was best. It was probably the same person who decided typing

in all CAPS is shouting rather than what it really is: hard to read. I

don't agree bottom posting is the best method nor will I ever comply with

it. If you want to be a follower of an idiotic "rule," that is your

prerogative.

> you criticise myself for actually

I was not critical of you, period. You made a false statement, "No-one

(sic) else has actually asnswered (sic) him so here is the link for the FREE

Real Player version," and I called you on it--nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks, I appreciate that.
