lay the foundation: i don't have internet at home, only at school, and Real Player is stupid and wants to download files from the internet to view some files.

so i have these shoddy .rm files, and when i try and view them at home of course Real Player tries to connect to the internet to download the files needed to properly play the file. with no internet this just won't work. so i play the files at school and it downloads the files, but where do these *files* go? i tried copying over the whole 'Real' directory from c:\program files\ but that still didn't do it.

i assume the *files* Real Player is downloading are codecs of some sort and may be deposited in the system32 (winNT4 at school; win2k server at home) folder? does anybody know? can i download a ONE Real codec that is guaranteed to play all .rm files made within the past? not too familiar with Real Player and codecs etc.

any help is very appreciated.

cheers

try to copy the Real folder on your school PC, then rename your old real folder (*at home) and put the new folder replacing the old one. That works for me, i'm not sure.....
