I had a similar problem last year on this same issue but cannot recall how problem was resolved.  RealPlayer stopped working completely 2 days ago - could download but not play.  Then I received a notice to upgrade with latest version. Tried to upgrade, installation stopped at 50% - even left it on overnight (12 hours, still at 50%) in morning.  Rebooted, decided to uninstall then reinstall.  Uninstall remained at 3 bars "completed" for several hours.  Rebooted, tried again, same problem.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thank you.
