Some components are not available to provide playback of this presentation on your system. An attempt was made to access a file that cannot currently be decoded by RealPlayer. RealPlayer G2, 7, and 8 can natively decode RealAudio and RealVideo files. Other media types such as .wav, .au, .mov, .mid, and .mpg (MPEG 1) can also be decoded if the appropriate plug-ins and codecs(compression/decompression systems) are installed.
There are two main causes for RealPlayer's inability to decode an accepted media format.
You are attempting to use an expired beta version of RealPlayer or RealPlayer Plus. RealNetworks sets an expiration date in all beta versions to remind users that the next version of the product is available for download. By updating to the next version, users receive software that has been improved in both features and stability.

Your copy of RealPlayer does not have the necessary plug-in, or the required codecs are not present. To see which RealPlayer plug-ins are installed:
RealPlayer G2:
Start RealPlayer. Click the Options menu and choose Preferences. Click the Upgrade tab. Check the RealPlayer components list to determine which file types have installed plug-ins. RealPlayer 7 & 8:
Start RealPlayer. Click the View menu and choose Preferences. Click the Upgrade tab. Click the Settings button in the RealPlayer Plug-ins section to determine which file types have installed plug-ins. Even if the correct plug-in for the media type is installed, you will not be able to play files of that media type if the corresponding codecs are not also installed. To install the codecs for the media type, you will need to download and install a media player that was originally designed to play the media type.
