RealPlayer Download Info You can download the Basic REALPLAYER for FREE at www.real.com The FREE version link was at time of writing in SMALL LETTERS near the Top Right of the page. They sometimes move it around, so if it is not there, look carefully for "Free Real Player". The large orange "FREE DOWNLOAD" link is NOT the free version. You can avoid possibly unwanted desktop items and content by choosing 'custom installation' Also note that you don't have to register when it asks - just click 'cancel' and it will still work fine.
