Does realplayer break your FMS apps?

I installed Realplayer 11 beta on one of my Windows Vista machines yesterday, and it seems to be getting in the way of the flashplayers netconnection.connect requests.

I found that varaible data that should be sent to Flash Media Server applications through the Flashplayer client (in the NetConnection.connect arguments) is no longer being sent, and all of the variables come up as undefined on the server side!

The new reaplayer has a feature that gives you a button to grab video files from web pages. I found that if you don't install this button (there's an option in the reaplayer installer), the problem with the netconnection vars doesn't come up.

This is happening on Vista/IE7/FP9. Is anyone else having the same problem?

    Yeah... this is bad. The Real people say they have addressed the issue, but the latest release of realplayer still breaks the flashplayer
