    No it isn't. Deeply useless security software indeed.

    This should probably be moved to the Computers forum.

    Hi steppen

    I just check the rte.ie site and the news is streamed using Real Player - so maybe the problem is that either Real Player is not installed or the file association with *.smil and *.rm files are screwed up.

    Check this out and let me know how u get on?
