Question

i.downloaded some codecs the other day for real player and put open with real player and i cant delete them ive tried that. some of the programs include(word, system restore frontpage lime wire command promt) i know u can select what you want to open program with but i cant do that with some of the files. is their anyway i can restore everything back 2 way it was ?

Answer 1

Use the System Restore facility

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

Follow the instructions and select a date prior to when you downloaded the codecs.  This won't delete any of your documents, e-mails etc, but you will lose any other applications downloaded since that date.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Uninstall RealPlayer, as in remove the program and all its related files completely. Then re-install from the website and don't check the open with RealPlayer.
