I was burning a CD disc today with the "new and improved" Realplayer; had just downloaded the latest version of RP this morning; cause they were advertising that you could do a lot more things with it, like; create a music album with individual tracks and titles; something they used to require the premium (payed for) version for. Instead of making a long convoluted story out of it; let me just make list of the sequence of the incident:
1- Started d/ling RP.
2- Noticed as it was installing; one of the pop-up boxes that I needed to click to except the agreement conditions; was one for Norton's anti-virus; and it made it look like to proceed with d/ling RP you needed to accept Norton's (I have had some bad experiences with Norton; it did not protect a pc; that died from a virus) so instead of accepting it I declined; which RP then let me d/l the rest of the player; but cause I didn't like them pushing Norton's---I had taken a screen shot, and was going to warn people here, about it.
3- Took a screen shot--which wouldn't work; of Norton's acceptance box. So I figured that it must be because it was in the middle of d/ling--but--thought maybe if I had another image in the forefront, it might take a shot. So opened up a web site, minimized it, took the scn shot; and the win10 notification box, for the screen shot going to Onedrive; popped out. But--and this maybe is when things went bongo-- the web site image would not go away; and I had to use task manager to put it away.
4- So got RP up and running and was going thru their tutorial and thought i would check-out their new CD burning app-was a lot easier to use then in the past- before you could only do one track; one song or a whole album--but it played like one track, no skipping to other tracks; for that you needed the premium version; but now free version is like that. well- it burned--said it was all done--popped into my CD player and it showed the tracks but nothing came out the speakers but silence. Yes I made sure it was audio cd. So gave up on that and though and put the CD back in the PC to see if I could play it on there and:
5- Could not open the start page. Wont open no matter what I try; tried to restart but can't get the the shut down screen. Shut off the computer by the on/off switch; but it acted like it was in sleep mode (lap top) I can use all my desk top icons, get on line. I have copies of Chrome and Edge pined to the task bar--Chrome works fine--but Edge has pop-up saying that "class not registered"? never heard that before.
6- So...I don't like to take out the battery and force a restart that way--did that once before on a different LT--and it never came back up---does anyone know of a work around for this? it should be the same as win8.1; I would think.
Thanks for any help.
