Downloading and Installing
the RealOne Player

Print this page now.

 

1
Visit the Real Networks web site by clicking the icon found on all IVIN web pages. Get ready to start jumping through hoops.

2
Click the link that reads Free RealOne Player. Beware, this link has a tendency of jumping around on their page from time to time. It may not be in the same location every time you access this page. Are you ready to jump again?

3
After you click the link, the next page will once again have an ad for the full-priced player. Look around on the page for the link that reads Download the Free RealOne Player and click.

4
After you click the link, a dialog box will appear asking you for a place to save the RealOne installer on your computer. Pick a place (such as "My Downloads" or "My Documents" (or any place you're going to remember) and click the Save button.

5
This is what you may see as the RealOne installer is downloading. Be patient, this may take several minutes.

6
Later that same day...Quit your web browser and go to the location on your computer where you downloaded the RealOne Installer. Look for the cute icon found to the right, and double click.

7
Once the installer starts, you'll see something resembling the graphic to the right. The RealOne Installer will look on your computer for older versions of the RealPlayer and ask you if you want to delete the older versions. You do! No sense in having multiple versions of outdated software on your computer. If it asks, click the Yes button. Be patient, this step may take from one minute to several years to complete.

8
Now we're rolling. The first screen you'll see asks you for the type of install you'd like to perform. Leave everything alone (Express Install) and click the Next> button.

9
Read and accept the License Agreement by clicking the Accept button.

10
Be patient as the program configures and installs the RealOne player for your computer.

11
The Installer will ask you what types of media you'd like the RealOne player to play. Unless you are familiar with different types of media, and the variety of programs that can be used to play them, leave these settings alone. Click the Finish button.

12
You'll see a "splash" screen as the Installer does more configuring and then the Welcome to RealPlayer! screen. Read and then click the Next> button.
13
The RealOne Player will now contact RealNetworks to continue the setup. Just like is says on the screen.
14
The RealOne player will now attempt to garner some demographic data and allow you to set up a user account with Realnetworks. This step is not necessary and these directions will not show you how to complete this screen. Simply click the Cancel button and you'll be on your way. By clicking the Cancel button, the RealPlayer will skip this step and continue with the Horse and Pony show.
15
Hang in there...we're almost done. Next you'll be presented with this beautiful screen playing a "welcome" audio clip and some fast-moving, fancy graphics. Feel free to click the stop button.
