I used to download to Real Player from You Tube to make a playlist. I would put the pointer on the video that was playing and a panel would appear saying Download Video. Now nothing happens. It's as though this function has been deleted somehow, which I haven't done. Could it be anything to do with having XP? Like outdated or unsupported drivers? TIA

Youtube is regularly putting hidden coding into downloads as an endeavour to stop infringement of copyright. Consequently the site may now have 'hit' your Real Player to prevent the downloading of Videos.

As a point of interest, what you are experiencing has happened before with Real Player. However, I have read that Youtube's efforts have then been nullified by an up-date from Real Player.

Make sure your Real Player is up-to-date and then see what is the position.
