I was burned by putting in Realplayer 10.? and have it screwup Scanner and
Camera Wizard, earlier this year!

I made contact with Real Support, twice since then and THEY said the issue
was fixed, only for me to find out the 'tech support' person was just
following 'a script'. I had to pull Real Player and run Autofix.exe each
time! Multiple times!!

I gave up on them in late Oct.

Multiple times, I have had the NEED for RealPlayer.....(The older ones have
security holes!)

Has anyone seen a version of RealPlayer that behaves with Scanner and Camera
Wizard?

To those of you who have lost the use of the Camera Wizard I have confirmed
that there is a conflict between Real Player 10 and the Wizard preventing
the
Wizard from running. However, I have found the cause and have a solution.

There is an incompatability between the Wizard and the file REALSCHED.EXE,
which runs on startup. Disable it with the Task Manager and the
functionality
of the Wizard is restored. You can permanently disable REALSCHED from
running
on startup using MSCONFIG. However, it will become active again any time
Real
Player is started. But it is definitely NOT necessary to uninstall Real
Player to mitigate the conflict and get the Wizard working again.

I have confirmed that this file is the cause of the problem, but have no
idea just what purpose it serves other than taking up memory. It schedules
something or other. Perhaps it is the source of those %$#@@#$$# Real Player
pop-up messages!

If you want to keep Real Player and still have Autoplay, you can. Just a few
more clicks.
Connect the camera as usual. Wait 15-20 seconds for XP to recognize it. Open
My Computer. Look under devices with removable storage, you camera will be
listed there, usually under your CD or DVD drive. Right click on your camera
listed there. A menu will open. Click on Autoplay. No big deal.
 
So far, nothing about a new version or update from Real Player.
You can go around it. After connecting your camera and waiting about 15-20
sec. for XP to recognize it, open My Computer and look under Devices with
removable storage. Your camera should be listed there as an external drive,
below your CD or DVD drive. Right click on it and click on Autoplay on the
opening menu.
