I checked again with the package from mphq:
Opening video decoder: [realvid] RealVideo decoder
opening win32 dll 'codecs/drv33260.dll'
Selected video codec: [rv30win] vfm:realvid (Win32 RealPlayer 8 RV30
decoder)

(even with only drv33260.dll in the codecs dir)
Dunno what is wrong. Maybe LoadLibraryA works different in Win2k?
Try to put your codecs dir including the dlls into windows/system. Maybe it
helps.
