<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">After having downloaded about a half dozen files from the planet three or four days ago, IE is suddenly trying to run files requested for download through Real Player. Everytime I click on a download link on the Planet site, instead of the download dialog box popping up (as it does on other sites), Real Player pops up. It had been popping up behind my browser window, so that it looked like nothing at all was popping up when I clicked on a link. Now it is popping up on top of the browser window. If this is some kind of advertising ploy, it is not an intelligent one.<BR>
<BR>
Have there been changes made to the CCRMA site? <BR>
<BR>
About three days ago, I was able to download files without a problem other than the broken libsndfile link. Should I assume that this is the result of either: 1) poorly written software suddenly malfunctioning in a new way; or, 2) malicious interference on the part of someone who should know better? <BR>
<BR>
I have reinstalled my all of my browser software from disk, removed many megs of security update downloads, etc. And none of this solves the problem. It also makes it highly improbable that the problem is at my end. Anyone have any helpful suggestions? <BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
