Real Player uses 100% CPU

When I click on "my library", then "all media", real player freezes and takes 100% cpu.

Any workaround?

Well, you didn't provide us much information. But the best thing to do is to do a complete uninstall ~~and reinstall~~.

My next suggestion is to avoid RealPlayer like the plague.

Try VLC instead.

1The plague can be cured with relative ease these days - the memories of realplayer still haunt me 10 years later. Avoid. – Phoshi – 2009-09-22T20:21:35.507

So just omit the "and reinstall" part :-) – user12099 – 2009-09-23T08:46:30.687

Workaround:

1) Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs

2) Select RealPlayer

3) Click "Remove"
