Step-By-Step Instructions RealPlayer 8.0

Now that you have completed the download you must run the setup program that was just downloaded (If you selected "open it" in the previous step, it will run the setup program automatically). You may need to close and restart your browser depending on what type of computer you are using.

To run the file you have just completed downloading, do you remember where you saved it? Go to that directory/folder and double click on it. It will then begin to install itself and configure the major browsers to support RealAudio. If you ever have to re-install your browser or operating system, you will need to run the RealPlayer setup again to get it to work. That's It!

Personal Tip: When you run the setup program it will ask if you want to have links and easy access to a series of RealNetwork's partners, like Take 5, Real.Com and more... I generally don't select those options because they can REALLY clutter up your screen fast. Also, when it is installed you may want to turn on the "compact" option from the View menu (CTRL-M) to make things a little cleaner.
