hi david,
for my personal taste, the real player application installs too much
other stuff, along with the regular installation. quicktime is only
needed for certain things that specifically require it to run, so no
harm done installing it as long as you disable it in autostart, using
the 'msconfig' run command.that will keep the application from running
automatically at every windows start. for example anypone running itunes
on their pc, will need to get quicktime, which is installed along with
the itunes installation routine.
regards,
chrissy

On the jaws user home page Programs you will find both Real Alternative
which is as it says is a less resource hungry alternative to Real Player and
QuickTime Alternative which is the same for QuickTime.
For a long time I have used these instead of the main apps. Both are set up
to work with Firefox I believe. In fact currently I only have Real
Alternative installed and Firefox appears to work fine with just this for
streaming media content .
Neither of these programs hog resources by loading at start up, going into
system tray etc etc.
