If you see this error, it means that the RealPlayer plugin was not able to handle embedded audio or video content on a webpage. This is a known problem. <!-- see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667399 and discussion. --> As a workaround, disable the "RealPlayer G2 LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In" in the Add-ons Manager Plugins list. See [[Troubleshooting plugins]] for details. You will still be able to use the RealPlayer program for links to Real Media files but audio and video content embedded in webpages will not play.

= Tip and Alternative Solution =
At present Flash Player 11.3 may itself not work in Windows Vista and above if it is ''protected mode'' and RealPlayer may also encounter problems if protected mode is enabled. A solution is to downgrade to an earlier FlashPlayer version, (or to manually turn off protected mode).
==Downgrading to an earlier version Flash Player 10.3 or 11.2 ==
This may need you to first use an Adobe uninstall utility. The process is fully explained with suitable links in the article [[Flash 11.3 Crashes]]
==A simple method of working out whether protected mode is in use is.==
# Start a new session of Firefox, preferably with only the home page or a blak tab open
# Open Windows Task Manager {key Ctrl + Shift + Esc} and use the process tab
# There should be no process ''plugincontainer'' running
# Open and play a single Flash Player Video
# If you have
#* one plugincontainer process running protected mode is off
#* two plugincontainer processes running indicate protected mode is in use.
