Downloading RealPlayer

To download RealPlayer:

1. Visit the RealPlayer Downloads page.
2. Click Save in the download pop-up window. From here, you can follow the prompts to install the player, or see Installing RealPlayer.

Note: The download begins automatically through our RealDownload Express (RDX) utility. If your system is not set to allow the use of ActiveX, or your Internet security settings are too stringent, the download utility may stop working. If you experience trouble with the RDX utility or you prefer to download the installer manually, simply select the Restart Download link located within the download page.
