Equipment: Dell Dimension 3000 desktop; Windows XP + SP2. Program called Real Player came with machine. When starting up, it appears as two windows, and significantly delays startup. It also has a window in lower R corner with "News" which is also an interference.

Don't know what it is for, but do not desire to delete it altogether in case a reason to use it turns up. However, would like to get rid of this automatic startup so I would just use it if desired.

Thanks for your advice.
