Why do you run that program at boot? If you don't need it, don't run it.
Run msconfig, go to the startup tab and uncheck it.

However, it might be malware, in stead of the real Real player. Better have a good look if it's legitimate.

There are a lot of discussions about stopping items like that. In your case, why not uninstall it?

Your PC runs it at startup. Since it's your PC, you have to turn that off. I wrote above how to do it.
