I install the RealOne player on my iPaq. I tried one clip and it worked. I had no use for it and could use the extra space it takes up so I uninstalled it. Well it also removes some shared system files without letting me know so Windows Media Player and Pocket DiVX don't work until I reinstall them.

<< windows media player is in your rom it cannot delete the files. >>



My Ipaq was upgraded to PPC2002 so WMP8 is not built into the ROM.

Real Player 8 is fine, as long as you uncheck EVERYTHING during installation, and get rid of the System Tray icon.

RealOne is just plain evil.
