If you don't really need Real Player try VLC.
It's free to download, plays anything, & you can even get stills (snapshots) from your clips.

Help trying to download realplayer it tells me that I dont have Admin access and see system admin in order to install.Just ignore the messager and over-ride/continue with the other commands. If the message has blocked the download then try from another webpoint. Oh yes, make sure it is the FREE version you are downloading!

Can I suggest you ignore the official realplayer (which is a horrible system hog, and tends to take over everything regardless of whether you want it to or not) and download Real Alternative (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/download/realalt) instead? I won't touch the "official" version, but realt alt installs the needed codes to watch all streaming Real media, BBC sites included.
