Help!

Post by Skibumtress »

I need some help here. I have RealDownload for when I download stuff off the internet but on this board every time I sign in, go to a thread, new page, etc., RealDownload pops up and uploads the page. Tried signing in an out and can't seem to stop it. Never happened on the other board.
Any thoughts?? :?

Pop-Up blocker :idea: you can get one from the new google toolbar.

Check the File Associations with RealDownload. The settings should be in a "Preferences" menu or something like that. Make sure RealDownload is not set to download "php" files.

Chances are RealDownload was overly aggressive in eating up file associations.

Worst case... uninstall RealDownload and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then either do without it or reinstall it and see what happens.
Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level, then overwhelm you with their experience.

Real anything sucks. I hate their stuff. They're too aggressive with the associations like Spanky said. I gave up on them a long time ago.

Thanks Spanky... I'll check that when I get home. Like SkiDork said, Realdownload sucks. I think I just may delete it anyway. I've had it on for so long but haven't used it in awhile... just started acting funky when I came to this board last night and then it was making everything move so slow.... Thanks for the help. :D
