In the new IE8 beta, Real player doesn't work; for example, if there is a link to a movie in the format of *.rm in a web page and I am viewing this web page in IE8 beta, then that *.rm file will not open in Real Player, neither it opens in windows Media Player. In IE7 and older versions, by clicking the media link automatically opens the corresponding application (either Real Player, Windows Media player, Quick Time etc.) and consumers can enjoy the media; this kind of integration is missing in IE8 Beta. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Maybe it will work better when IE 8 is released. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Perubotla wrote: > In the new IE8 beta, Real player doesn't work; for example, if there is a > link to a movie in the format of *.rm in a web page and I am viewing this web > page in IE8 beta, then that *.rm file will not open in Real Player, neither > it opens in windows Media Player.

How does it work in Google Chrome (also in beta)? [Speaking of which: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/30983] IE Beta Public Newsgroup Support: microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta Via the web-interface: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta Via your newsreader: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta [Yes, I understand that the link you used probably brought you to IE General newsgroup. We're tyring to get that fixed.] -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Perubotla wrote: > In the new IE8 beta, Real player doesn't work; for example, if there is a > link to a movie in the format of *.rm in a web page and I am viewing this > web page in IE8 beta, then that *.rm file will not open in Real Player, > neither it opens in windows Media Player.
