Freggin' REALMagic Crap.....

[Tornberry]

GDI! I installed the REALMagic MPEG-4 Codec just for laughs. (I knew it couldn't be much.) I was right, it sucked and had absolutely no options or freedom whatsoever. (How on earth did they get this from Xvid?) Anyways, after I had my kicks, I realized it didn't come with an unistall! Not in the Start Menu, Add/Remove, or the directory the files are in. I'm practically screwed. Anyone know of a way to completely unistall this crap codec? (Any links that tell you how to do this perhaps?)

Thanks,

Go to the system steering / Multimedia / Devices. Double klick on the realMagic codec and press delete.

If you're talking about the Device Manager, then no. It just comes back after I "remove" it. As for system steering, I don't exactly know what you're talking about. How would I go about to "system steering"?

It`s control panel in win98.
Go to multimedia-->devices-->video compression codecs

[Tornberry]

Sorry, I forgot to mention. I'm on Windows XP. I tried removing it through the control panel, but it just reappears everytime. If there's even a patch that'll unistall it, I'll take that too.

You can do it manually, Delete dsrmp4.dll and rmp4.dll in the system32 dir .
And this is for the reg files : delete all entries


[RMP4.AddReg]

I think that is all wath is installed

It was a little bit of a hassal, but thanks. That did the trick. I'm never installing that junk on my PC ever again.
