RealPlayer opens up with IE
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, so eh hi

anyways lads my friend has a problem with her laptop, its a windows 7, not much specs info I can provide but anyways, she has a problem with her IE, everytime it opens up, realplayer opens up, she tried uninstalling it, it did, but it still opens up. She can't open up tools in IE, when she does, strangely(ive never heard of this) it asks save/open. Now I'm not sure if it's a windows 7 thing or something, but she can't seem to stop real player from opening. Any advice?

k so she did that, but now it turns out that windows media centre opens up with it now, any idea? i was thinking maybe she needs to do system restore, but she did it, but it doesnt give her the option to when she wants to restore it

Repeat the last step and untick any players shown in start up ...your computer will want a default player and since I dont know what you want for that click Start, Control Panel, then all control panel items, and default programs, then set the default player you want ...
