I have tried to download Real Player from several different sites. Every time I start I get the following message.
"Setup decompression failed, possible download error. Please download again or contact your system administrator."
Any thoughts how i can fix this?

Re: Real Player
Hi - Welcome back to PCHF.
Could be some file conflicts so, asumming XP, suggest go: Start - Run - (type) chkdsk /f ((with the space) enter)) This will ask you if it's okay to do it on the next reboot. Say Yes. Reboot.

Re: Real Player
Real Player is little better than malware.
Media Player Classic with Real Alternative is the best way to go, as it has no phoning home as the other ones does. No bloat either... Free-Codecs.com :: Download Real Alternative 2.0.1 : Real Alternative will allow you to play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer/RealOne Player
