I have RealPlayer, 10.1.0 on my Mac Pro. When I try to play a RealAudio Metafile (filename.ram), the player comes up with an error message telling me that "Some needed components are not available. (RA 3.0)". What's that all about, and how do I fix it?

Thanks!

OK all you smarties out there. I found the answer myself!

The old RA 3.0 codecs would not load under native OS X. I set Real Player to run using Rosetta, and Bingo! The 3.0 codex installed and the files play just fine. Problem solved! :headphone
