    What video player are you using and what file type is the video? Does this happen to any type of videos?

    I searched the web and it seems like some other people are also having this problem with Real Player. Try uninstalling the current Real Player and reinstall the latest version.

    Better yet, you can always use Real Alternative, which is what I use, it allows you to play RealMedia files without Real Player.
