I am still using old RealPlayer Plus who has been faithfully serving me for the last 6 or 7 long years. I have not upgraded since then under the concern of non-accessibility or less or limited accessibility with Jaws 7.0 and Windows-XP-Home. How much am I behind and which version of Realplayer is more accessible than others? Thanks!
