The application: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe try to launch another application: C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\realplay.exe "

thanks for detailed reply, the reboot was alaming and seemed more than a coincidence.


as for the error message it was exactly like windows non responsive ones for i /explorer for example, but this one specifically for some reason related to my intel graphics card (which has up to date drivers anyway)

cant say ive experienced the probs you had, but RP is very persistant in "forcing its way back in" as in msconfig and ignoring default settings.
