    You can try Empty the contents of the TEMP folder.
    The Windows Temp folder is used by programs to store temporary files to complete tasks. When the tasks are completed or the program closes, the files in the TEMP folder are usually deleted. However, if the files are not deleted, you may receive errors. Windows uses temporary folders to process information and compress files. Empty them to keep too many unneeded files from using space on the hard drive. To delete your temporary files, try each of these solutions, according to your computer's operating system.

    For best results, make sure all windows and programs are closed before proceeding:

    Windows XP: Delete your Temporary Internet files.
    1. Click the Windows Start button.
    2. Go to Programs (or All Programs).
    3. Go to Accessories.
    4. Go into System Tools.
    5. Click on Disk Cleanup.
    6. Select the C: drive and click OK.
    7. Make sure Temporary Internet Files is selected, and click OK again to delete the selected locations.

    hi you can also try Closing background programs.Background programs may sometimes interfere with RealPlayer.Closing programs running in the background on your computer can free up system resources for your other programs. This can resolve problems where your system is running slowly or two programs are trying to use the same device.

    Temporarily disable background programs (short version):
    Right-click the program's icon in the system tray (next to the clock), and choose Close, Exit, or Disable.

    Restart your computer in Selective Startup.
    Note: Selective Startup disables third-party security software such as firewalls and anti-virus software. For added protection, you could disconnect your computer from the Internet while you perform this test (either turn off your modem or disconnect the network cable). Additionally, running in selective startup may cause you to lose your Internet connection. Returning your computer to its Normal Startup mode should allow you to connect to the Internet again.
    i do not recommend leaving your computer in selective startup, because this can render portions of your security software or other applications unavailable. Once you have determined which program is causing the problem, you should check the program's documentation or help site to see if the program can be configured to avoid the conflict.

    These steps are only for troubleshooting issues you may be having. After determining if a background program is causing the problem, we recommend running the System Configuration Utility again and selecting Normal Startup.

    Windows XP:
    • Click the Windows Start button, then click Run.
    • Type MSCONFIG, then click OK. The System Configuration Utility window opens.
    • From the General tab, check Selective Startup.
    • Uncheck Load Startup Items.
    • Click Apply, then Close.
    • Restart your computer.

    Update or reinstall your sound card and video card drivers.
    RealPlayer sends information to your sound card and video card through software known as drivers. RealPlayer may crash if the sound or video driver software is out-of-date or damaged.Contact your computer manufacturer's technical support to make sure you have the latest, most updated sound and video driver software available. If your sound or video card was purchased separately from the computer, contact that manufacturer's technical support. Your manufacturer may also have this information on their Web site. The manufacturer's technical support will be able to assist you in reinstalling your sound and video driver software if it has become corrupt or damaged.
