 this is odd but ive been having troblems with realplayer technically. When I download videos the banner that shows the download progess doesnt show the vids avatar like it used to , also when its done the button that says "view library" doesn't work so now I have to go look for the download manually in my files. So I thought , ok ill just remove realplayer altogether and reinstall it. Problem is that realplayer no longer shows up in my control panel! yet I still have the program..broken but its still there. Then I said ok..ill just go to my downloaded program list and reinstall it there..but the problems still persist! How can I find realplayer in my windows 8 and remove it to reinstall...or better yet how can I fix all the other issues
