real player 10 forcing open pop up browser windows
Posted by Quiz Time on September 10th, 2005


Does anyone know how to disable the automatic popping up of browser windows
when you open video clips downloaded off the web?

I have a pop up stopper but it seems to be by-passing it, It keeps
showing/forcing open 'the web page/home pages' of commercial sites, every
time I open a newly downloaded vid clip.

There must be a setting somewhere within realplayer to disable the opening
of the web windows somehow but for the life of me I can't find the right
option to de-select!

Cheers,

Andy

I don't think you'll find a setting in Realplayer for this (one good
example of why I have programs like this require permission to get out
past the firewall). The videos sound like they've come loaded with spy-,
ad-, or nag-ware. You *do* scan all of your downloads before you execute
them, don't you?

If not, pop-ups could be a relatively small symptom of a potentially
large problem.
