Error #40 Decoder type mismatch. Cannot load the requested decoder.

If you receive this message, this is the result of file conflicts with a previous version of the Player or Encoder. You need to manually delete any possible RealAudio and RealVideo files and reinstall the Player or Encoder. Use the links below to access the directions appropriate to your system. The directions are for Player deletion, but many of the files are shared libraries. If you have an Encoder installed, reinstall it after the clean Player installation.
