Real Player and Expose don't play nicely together

Has anyone seen this problem?



While watching a video clip in Real Media Player you click any of the Expose buttons (F9-F11) to see your desktop or other windows. After you move back to Real Media Player, the desktop freezes and the Dock dies.

(FYI, I've got my desktop set to rotate images every 5 seconds if that should matter)



It's really annoying!! The only way I can do anything is to open a terminal window (if I can somehow get to the application directory) and type "sudo shutdown -r now"



I'm running 10.3.2 with all the security patches from Apple. I'm not running any hacks or anything weird.

    Real media player sucks.

    Try to avoid using it if at all possible. I don't have that problem over here though.

    At least with WMP you can use VLC or Mplayer, what really stinks about real player is the proprietary .ram formats. grr.

    Thanks Brad.

    I did a "check for update" within Real and it didn't find anything. So I guess it's not that... I wonder what it is
