Start ....Run... type the word msconfig and look under startup items... If
you can identify the realplayer in there, uncheck it.. You will get a warning about changing, just read what is presented and then log out of msconfig..Also look thru realPlayer application to see if you can disable the Start of it in there. As to the Weather Channel; i have no idea why that starts-up when you log on.. "BamaMotorad" wrote in message ...

If you get tired of disabling stuff after it self-installs, get Startup Monitor (free) from http://www.mlin.net/. And his Startup Control Panel (free) beats MSConfig. And Jeffrey, please don't contribute to the spread, and success, of email address mining viruses. Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself a bit safer when posting to open forums.
