A simple solution to getting rid of Realsched.exe for good (or at least until you
update / reinstall it).
Follow Shane's sound advice on removing the registry keys. Before using RealOne Player
again, though, locate Realsched.exe and rename it to Realsched.old
On this machine it was found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\
Once this has been done it will no longer run and will no longer be reinstated to
the registry keys you removed.
RealOne Player will operate as normal without RealSched and also without those annoying
popup messages and without stealing resources when you're not running it.
