Hi,

One comment that I did not see here, in this tread, was that AOL
installs and uses Realplayer as part of it's setup.

I ususally then un-install the Realplayer, as I too think it is a HOG.
Every time I start AOL it asks to install additional files (Realplayer)
and I "just say NO".

Thanks and have a Great Day!
