This can be solved easily by restoring old ipod updater version. But fist of all, how old is this ipod?

You should uninstall iTunes version 7 from your computer first then go to http://www.getfirmware.com/ipod.php and download older ipod firmware and install it.

I use Real Player to put songs on my ipod and recently when I connect my ipod to my computer and start up Real Player a "Fatal Application Exit" sign pops up while the "Device scan" is proceeding. Then at the bottom right corner of my screen has a pop up that informs me that there is a corrupted file on my ipod and then instructs me to run the chkdsk utililty. When I do this, I have to wait for all 3 stages to finish and then it just closes without fixing my corrupted file on my ipod. The chkdsk scan says that it only reads the problem.

What do I have to do in order to fix this problem?

Please someone help because I am getting pretty frustrated and my music is my life! Thank you for your time.

Kindly open the storage of your ipod via computer and check all the songs and/or all the files and look for the corrupted file. It is usually displayed in red icon. Then delete it.
