    Unable to Uninstall RealPlayer with RealTimes


    Hey everybody, I'm having some troubles uninstalling RealPlayer with RealTimes. I want to remove these programs as I've noticed that their services continue to startup with Windows even after disabling them, plus they're eating away at my CPU usage, causing my CPU to work at 100% all the time. However, I noticed that RealPlayer and RealTimes are not listed in the programs to remove in CCleaner and in Windows's Programs and Features option. I also checked to see if there was an uninstallation executable in the program's directories, but there was none. How am I supposed to remove RealPlayer and RealTimes? Any responses will be grateful. Thanks! :)

    Nope, I don't. These are the executables I have in that folder:


    realonemessagecenter.exe
    realsched.exe
    rnxproc.exe
    upgrdhlp.exe

    If you like you can run UVK and scan your Windows Partition so that we can see what's running, what's starting up and what is installed.

    Thanks for your help, Callender, but I actually just tried overinstalling RealPlayer for the second time and now the program appears in CCleaner for uninstallation. Thanks for your help though!
