Hi, my friend and I have the same problem. I have the basic version of Real Player 7, and he has the plus version. We both have W2k with the latest updates (we also both have v3 3000, 128 ram, NTFS, Award bios set to default, K6-2 450 & 500 chips) and when we play a real media movie, it starts fine for a few seconds playing the video, and then it just freezes. The sound keeps going, but the video freezes. I've even set the priority in the w2k task manager to high, but still no luck. I've reinstalled it, and still no luck. I also looked in dejanews, and one other person reported having this problem. We have updated to the latest version of real player, and still the problem occurs. Can someone please help?I've heard about this happening in NT4 with real player G2, but not with real player 7 in W2K. I really could use some advice. Thank a lot!

You have to disable Used Optimized Video display under the Performance tab.

Try what the last guy said, and if it doesn't work, try a different video driver version. I had that happen with one release of NVidia drivers, but the one before AND after that release worked fine.
