Actually, that's what was the 155M - Oracle's version of the latest Real Player. That didn't work, nor did downloading it from the Real Player site directly. I did find out the reason - Real Player doesn't work through our (or any?) corporate proxy server for it's final part of the install (just get "Connecting..." until it times out 15-20 minutes later). So no viewing of Larry's speech, oh well. Thanks anyway!
