Play *.rm Files With Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player does not support Real audio and video files, and real networks does not release any patch for WMP. Thanks to competition between Microsoft and Real networks. But, Real has released a patch for other media players. So, let's use this patch for playing real video and audio files.

1- Go to sourceforge.net website and download RealMedia Splitter from guliverkli Project. To download directly go to:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ackage_id=87719

2- Extract zipped file and copy "realmediasplitter.ax" to your system directory:
Win9x: c:\windows\system
WinXP: c:\windows\system32

3- Click Start > Run > and type “regsvr32 realmediasplitter.ax” and then click Ok.

4- Run your Windows Media Player, select “any file(*.*)” from file type field and open a *.rm file. Windows Media Player will display an error message that the selected file has an extension that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but it still might be able to play it. Select check box and press ok.

Congratulations.
