    I was at the ABCNews website which always uses RealPlayer for its streaming media. I was at a webpage about using cellphones in cars http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/DialyNews/cellphones020711.html and clicked on the RealPlayer video link in the upper left hand corner. The JavaScript box popped up and connected and it looked like it was going to play, but instead I got an error message saying I was using AOL and couldn't play the video.

    I'm NOT, nor have I ever been, using AOL. I'm using Internet Explorer 6.0 and RealPlayer 8.0. If anyone else gets that error message, could you plz post back and let me know. I've already emailed ABC's tech support. This is an egregious error and must be fixed immediately.

    Looks like they took the webpage down. I got an email from them saying I need RealOne. Like I'd install that piece of **** program on my computer!!!
