Real Player made my Win2000 Server system ANGRY. Any time I tried to run a Real file it would crash up my whole system. The hard-restart kind of angry.
That, of course, made ME angry. I couldn't even use their uninstall, because THAT caused another big honkin' crash. I ended up deleting the program, and then hunting down every last reference to RealPlayer in the Registry and destroying them execution-style.
Then AOL wouldn't work. That actually caused rejoicing...I finally had an excuse to not test pages in AOL anymore. "It's BROKEN! Yay!"
But when I tried to uninstall AOL it complained about RealPlayer having gone missing and wouldn't uninstall.
I resolved it by threatening the computer with a Linux install CD.

i can understand how they'd be pissed, but did they try contacting MS to get it fixed first?
They must not have wanted to pay the $55 an hour support fee.
