System Restore has a cache that it usually sets at 12% or so of your hard drive. You can downsize it to 700-800mb but it shouldn't be smaller.
Right click My Computer, select Properties and click the Systems Restore tab.
How much space do you have ?

I missed something.
What do you mean for only a few days?
Why would you be saving your settings that often?

Check the attachment please.

It's up full.

Well that's why because it disapears I have to redo it often.

You can either keep RealOne or you can have System Restore.

That's wierd I have the Real One player and my System Restore works just fine. I don't have any of it loading automatically however, maybe that makes a difference.

John Ranger,
Tuf's suggestion is worth trying since the trouble is that both programs try to access the same files at the same time.
Are you willing to configure your system so that neither RealOne or System Restore load automatically?
You'd have to set your restore points manually but it might allow you to have both without the hassles.

You can keep real one, and still use system restore.
Turn off Real's "Start Center", and they'll coexist with much less trouble.
