Security Alert Error Message

I am attempting to download Real Player and am getting the error message,
"your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". I
use Vista. I am the Administrator and have turned off the UAC, shut down my
firewall, turned off my Anti-Virus, have opened up the Security box and
enabled downloads, and anything else in Scripts and Active X. I added the
website to the trusted list. I dropped the level to medium and I still am
getting this error message. This is a new issue as I have been able to
download things in the past but have had this issue very recently and just
gave up on the download. I need this download for a training program so I
need to figure out how to overcome this issue. Your help is greatly
appreciated.

Try checking your security policies (gpedit.msc). Hope this helps.

Re: Security Alert Error Message

Thanks for your response, I'm not sure how to do that.

Re: Security Alert Error Message

See if you can download and install RealAlternative:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...lternative.htm

Functions the same as RealPlayer without "phoning home" and it's much
smaller in size.
