	I've had the same problems running Director, setting 
DPMI memory   ENABLED
DPMI memory limit  (lots and lots)
EMS memory 0
XMS memory 0

this helps for me but hopefully they're working on the problem. 

	There is going to be an OS2 version of the player available soon
but I don't know if that will help you since the player is bound to your
EXE under Director. It will however make it much easier for the ISV
to bundle the OS2 version with later releases.
