RealPlayer upgrade has sent PC into sleep mode

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Restart the PC... press F8 during the Startup sequence and select Last Known
Good Configuration.

If still no change, do the same but select Safe Mode... then use System
Restore to return to the time before you installed RealPlayer.
