Streaming / Downloading Help

1. Whenever I click on a broadcast to listen to, I get an error message(s) and/or nothing happens. What's wrong?

Without knowing the specifics of the error message(s) generated, if any, or any of the other circumstances, the best approach to this situation is to run through the check-list of items below to ensure that everything in terms of preparation is in order. The steps are broken down into two step levels based on complexity: beginner and advanced and, within each step, are listed in logical progression. In more than 90% of all difficulties of this nature, most of the suggestions outlined will not need to be exercised.
BEGINNER TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Are you still connected to the Internet (e.g. dropped connection)?
2. Are your speakers hooked up, turned on and the volume turned up?
3. Do you have at least a 28.8kbps connection to the Internet? The stream itself is 16kbps so it could in actuality be a little less than this but you will need a minimum 28.8kbps modem in your computer to connect at 28.8kbps.

   To check your connection speed in Windows when connected to the Internet, double-click on the modem icon in your System Tray (located in lower right-hand corner of your screen) and read the information presented.

4. Disconnect and then reconnect to the Internet. Try clicking on the link to your desired broadcast again.
5. Do you have RealPlayer G2 or higher installed on your computer? If not, download the latest version of RealPlayer from RealNetworks. Uninstall the old version of RealPlayer from your computer and, after installing the new version, try again.
6. Right-click on the link to the broadcast you are trying to listen to and select "Copy Shortcut" to send the location's to your computer's Clipboard. Under RealPlayer's "File" menu, select 'Open Location'. Paste the contents of your clipboard into the 'Open Location' text field and click "OK".

   ADVANCED TROUBLESHOOTING
   

7. Run a "ScanDisk". In Windows, click the 'Start' button and then 'Programs', 'Accessories', 'System Tools' and finally 'ScanDisk'. Select "Standard" type of test and before beginning ensure the "Automatically fix errors" box is checked.
8. Does your computer know to associate .ram/.rm files with the RealPlayer?

   To check go to Windows Explorer and then click "View", "Folder Options", "File Types" (tab). Under the 'Registered File Types' menu, look for an entry entitled "RealPlayer File". Highlight it, and click 'Edit' -- under the "Default Extension for Content Type" pull-down menu, ensure that ".ram" is selected.

   Please note that you may have multiple "RealPlayer File" entries and, if so, investigate each one until you find one that reads ".ram". If you do not have one, click 'New Type' from the 'File Types' tab and follow the on-screen instructions.

9. Uninstall and reinstall RealPlayer again. If you still have its install file, be sure to check that are you have the latest version and, if not, download and install it instead.
10. Contact RealNetworks for further support.
