OK...Ive read some of the newsgroups postings but I admit Im pretty
slow. Just got my Imac in January and have never used apple in my life
before this. A neophyte, so be kind. Here is my problem:
I downloaded Realplayer 10 for OS x but i can not get it to work. I
listen (well used to listen) to BBC radio all the time but now all I
get is the following two messages. The first:

"You either do not have Real Player or the Real Player plugin
installed.
Please click ok to see our Audio Help page
with instructions on how to install Real Player and the plugin.
If you received this message but you do have Real Player and plugin,
click Cancel to stop this message appearing again."

After clicking OK the next message appears:

"The page "BBC Radio Player" has content of MIME type
"audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin", but you don't have a plug-in
installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this
page:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/askbruce/articles/download/howdoidownloadrealplayer_1.shtml

Do

you want to open the page?"

If I click cancel nothing happens but if I click OK a "help" page opens
up but nothing is written for a dummy like me to understand. Can
anyone please help??

Thanks
Steve

Try this very easy fix. First get the latest Realplayer at http://www.real.com and install (better you put it into Applications, make sure you overwrite the older one)

Close (Quit) all web browsers you are running, saving your work (if sending mail etc).

Launch Realplayer, check its "Help menu" far right, from there click "Reset Realplayer" option.

It will do a "clean re install" automatically.
