The embedded [web browser] player has JavaScript and ActiveX control
methods that allow you to get callbacks when a RealPlayer error occurs.
You could then use Javascript to take corrective Action. To do this you
need to set the 'SetWantErrors()' to true. I believe when you register
to get errors, the player will not even invoke a dialog box for the
user. Of course, this requires running the player in a browser. See
details in the 'Embedded RealPlayer Extended Functionality Guide' at:

or you can download the manual by going to:
