I'm close to doing the hard reset restore thing and being forced to go through the entire reload and set up thing again... I hate that!

More than likely the reason that it didn't completely uninstall is because it or part of it was still running. Here are a couple of methods that you can try:
Option 1) Reinstall the program to get it back into the remove programs list. Install a "real" task manager, ie Dotfred taskmanager or equivalent and kill realplayer and any of its dependencies. Then remove the program.
Option 2) Go to Windows/Startup and make sure that there isn't any left over program starting at boot and taking over.
Option 3) Hard reset, this is actually my favorite! I hard reset a lot, especially when trying new things.
There may be more options, but these are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head.
