Adrian, When I bring up the view menu, the first item reads "normal mode F7, checked", and, since I have a braille display, it shows <x> to the right of the text. I don't know why you can't get it to read the check mark, if it is, indeed, checked.
Would you send along the instructions on how to close the message center, since, as I said, I've forgotten how I did it -- I might need to do it again, someday, if it ever comes unstuck.

Bob Batchelor sent instructions on how to close RP's message center, which is a big help. Regarding "normal view," I can't get JAWS to indicate whether or not it's checked. I click on it in the view menu and the menu closes. I go back to find it isn't checked. Is it another aspect of RP that requires sighted assistance? Again, many thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana S. Leslie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Adrian, I recommend disabling the Realplayer Message Center. Unfortunately, I disabled mine so long ago, I don't remember how I did it. But, in the Preferences tree view, scroll down to Message center, and see what you can find about disabling it. In the main player window, in the View menu pull-down, make sure Normal mode is checked, and everything else is unchecked. I recommend using RP for ONLY those media types that will not play in WMP or Winamp. So, under the Media Types section of preferences, make sure that only Real Media types are checked. But, unfortunately, since the media types selection list is largely inaccessible, you will either need sighted assistance for this, or you will have to go through the complicated procedure that Gene asner has outlined elsewhere. (Let me know if you need me to go through this for you.) Finally, I don't recommend using RP's My Library. Any Real Media on your hard drive, you can browse to, right click on, and, from there, choose Play, burn, or whatever you wish. As for Real Media streams, the Favorites menuing system within RP, is quite accessible, and I recommend using it in preference to any of the stream selection methods built into RP. Indeed, you can copy RP favorites from where they are stored on your hard drive, to some more convenient folder, and use them whenever you want to listen to an RM stream, rather than starting RP, clicking on Favorites, etc. If you just click on the Favorites shortcut, wherever you have moved it to, it will automatically start RP with the relevant stream playing. Then, you only need ctrl-P and ctrl-S, to pause or stop the stream, respectively. Well, that ought to be enough to get you started. Let me know if you have any specific problems. Blessed Be, Dana D.
