Nothing. All I do know is it's blocking my ability to download Adobe Flashplayer which I need to have! Kathleen Springer
close gplayer gabriel santiago
i want to disable gplayer
nothing, its blocking my ability to download adobe flashplayer
It is preventing Adobe Flash from downloading Chaplain Aaron
it is blockingmy abilityto download adobe flashplayer
It highly infects your Adobe Flash Player's capability and festers further, creating multiple problems with other dowloads and PC Speed. Your PC is immediately infected when you Install and/or run the FreeRide Games Player. It is able to be deleted by slowly and painstakingly carefully going through your PC's Registry Editor by deleting each individual Game and/or .exe application name (most of which are listed above). This process took me over FOUR HOURS to slowly and completely remove all remnants from my PC's Registry Editor Barbara Klose - bklose
It is unnecessary Roberto
shut it down so i can download my adobe player Sherri L. Bryant
It is interfering in my being able to download the newest version of flash player which I need for several things I do on here. Connie Cooper
it stops my computer from functioning correctly by not allowing programs i desperately need, like flash plaer, to open. Janice Vinson
it causes many problems on my computer
associated with flash ie freeridegames g
This is used with Free Ride Games (amongst others), and not essential to pc functioning. Can disable via task manager for adobe downloads. Easily uninstalled. Heather
You need GPlayer.exe if you want to play games from freeridegames.com. The company behind this software is www.exent.com. See the second link for how to uninstall the FreeRideGames Toolbar! Alex (further information)(further information)
it will not ley me download adobe flash player angela
uses a fair bit of memory even when no freeride games have been played since last restart. Seems to cause performance problem is running concurrently with flash. Matt
I've repeatedly been blocked from downloading the latest flash player, which i really need. Sorry I ever put it on, although I enjoyed the games, youtube and videos are more important. Down with FreeRide games - its too invasive! Margaret BA education
nothing but I am NOT uninstalling my free ride games player just so I can download adobe flash which I need. I am frustrated and want to run this flash program but donot want to lose my games so I suggest fix this error properly instead of sluffing it off to the user to fix.... Sandra
Not needed. It installs when you install the FreeRide games player, and it slows your PC down. Avoid. Don't try to uninstall the Freeride games player via the Windows uninstaller, you wont get rid of all of it. Research google first. Iain (further information)
It has a lot of information that I think is unnecessary. Also, the ads are annoying; particularly when it makes the screen look smaller, making it harder to see clearly the graphics in its games. Richard
I had it for years on my old computer. I played Cake Mania 3 using it. It was fine, no problems except for the computer being slow. James

Best practices for resolving GPlayer issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with GPlayer. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
