Whenever I try to play streaming video, real player will lock up. It shows like the first frame and then locks my system up. I want to play the news and it locks my system up.

After hitting"reset" to boot my computer again, I can see windows fixing an error in my internet temp files. The error list something wrong with the first allocation unit and it is truncating?

The only time I get this error is if I try to play realplayer streaming video. If I play a music video I downloaded, it plays fine.

It use to work just fine previously to installing my radeon 9700 Pro video card?

I have re-formatted and did a full new install of XP and I also have the full purchased version of realplayer but it is still occuring.

Any ideas why this would happen?
