Good to Know
When you install RealPlayer, you have the option to add the RealPlayer Downloader agent(small program that operates constantly 'in the background') to your Login items. The agent looks for downloadable content while you are viewing web pages. If you chose Don't Add Agent, you can still open RealPlayer Downloader manually: open RealPlayer, then select Window > Open RealPlayer Downloader or click above the player controls. (You can also add the agent later. See Preferences.)
