I am having the problem that every time I try to access my real player or one of the media videos that I keep getting this ddraw.dll error. Can anyone please help. I am so confused as to why this happened. Thanks to anyone who may help

ddraw.dll is DirectX DLL which is needed for multimedia apps, games etc. 

My suggestion would be to download and install the lastest version of DirectX...DirectX 
9.0c from microsoft.com. If you don't have high speed access try DirectX 8.1 will 
download faster over dialup. Doing this will replace offending .dll.

lol have you actually reinstalled like I suggested? This issue can occur if DirectX 
is corrupt. It will likey solve the issue. If not read here for other issues.

Update your DirectX like Sgt said... (if you don't already know - it is FREE) it could be corrupt, or even out-of-date if you've updated to latest vid player versions or changed a video card.
