Solve : Real Player 'invalid directory' problem? |
|
Answer» Every time I try to make some changes to Real Player under tools....preferences....general I get an 'invalid directory....the specified directory is invalid' error message. I have tried changing the directory, reloading the program and nothing has worked. Any ideas? Please send suggestions to [emailprotected] Quaxo, I think you may be confused. You mentioned Reinstall twice, when what I'm sure you meant was: you can reinstall without uninstalling and installing right after uninstalling can also be called a reinstall in the same way. The fact that many programs use the term "reinstall" when the more appropriate word for their action would be "repair" (which windows installer now calls it, actually) doesn't suddenly mean that you can't use the word in the proper context. For EXAMPLE, when you say that you "refroze the turkey" then you are implying that the turkey had been thawed previously- there was no implicit "thaw" action required. This is the proper use of the prefix "re". Quaxo's first use of the term "reinstall" is in reference to the fact that most installers posess a option in the start menu or in their setup programs (when you run them when the program is installed already) labelled "reinstall" The term is used INCORRECTLY in that context, but Quaxo referring to it is not- that is what the option is called. And, the "Reinstall" option in most setups is far less "complete" of a "install" (because it's neither) so it's important to discern wether weatherman used the "reinstall" or "repair" option as present in setup programs and sometimes on the start menu, or wether they actually chose to uninstall the program and then reinstall it again. Lastly, I really don't see how pedanticism over the use of terms can possibly help to solve the problem.pedanticism ?I uninstalled (removed) Real Player from my computer, then went to the Real Player web site and downloaded the latest free version of the program. But I still have the same 'invalid directory' problem. Now that we have cleared that up, any suggestions on how to solve the 'invalid directory' problem? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks....Dave/Weatherman |
