    The latest HelixPlayer update overwrote the menu entry for RealPlayer.

    I recommend you get the latest version of RealPlayer (10.0.4) which
    addresses some security vulnerabilities. See here:

    Once you get the latest RealPlayer rpm file, you can update your
    RealPlayer installation with the rpm -Uvh command.
