Real Player Downloader Stops Working, How Do I Fix This

[JG1965]

I have Real Player on my laptop and I used to be able to download videos from YouTube but now when I try to download a video from YouTube I get the message "RealDownloader has stopped working".
Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

You could initially try uninstall of RealPllayer and then reinstall.

Goto 'Windows Start>Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall a Program'

Done that several times already but it is still doing the same

Are you trying to download within the Player direct or is it via a web browser using the Real player plugin?

If so what browser?

If using the Player direct, instead try via the Realplayer Browser plugin.

I have tried to download withing Real Player direct and plugin also via web browsers Firefox and Google Chrome

Found out it is a problem with the latest version of Real Player 16 so removed it and downloaded an earlier version Real Player 15 and it is working normally now. Thanks for your advice though pinkyboyid.
