I try to download a movie or a video from the internet and the realplayer download option caption doesn't appear on the screen and its not in a right button click on my mouse as a option. I have chosen realplayer as my default program to download music and or videos and movies. Can someone give me a solution.

    (3) Click "Tools"

    (4) Then click "Check for Updates".

    (5) Follow the instructions to install the Critical Updates. After that the "Download this video" button should reappear when watching videos

    Press Close

    1. Realplayer - File -> open and paste the youtube (video) URL in the box. hit OK
    2. Sign Out of Real Player

    Close

    Relaunch Real Player

    Retry video

    1. Click here to make sure you have the latest RealPlayer installed on your system. To check your version number from the RealPlayer itself, choose Help > About RealPlayer.
