Why do I have problems with video or system freezes when playing video content with RealPlayer Basic 8 for Windows?
A.: With the video enhancements in RealPlayer Basic 8, there are a few requirements to ensure the best video experience. If video appears erratically or you experience system freezes while attempting to play video files, you may be able to solve it with the following suggestions. RealPlayer requires a minimum of 16-bit color in Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000. If your computer is incapable of displaying at least 16-bit color, you may only get a black square in RealPlayer when you play video content.
