There isn't anything wrong with his mediaplayer. The file he is trying to
join with jas is 'locked' because he has it loaded in mediaplayer. The
error message from jas can be avoided by either closing mediaplayer or
loading another file. Rolling back to an older OS is not an option I would
recomend, he may have other reasons for wanting to use a modern OS. I have
been using XP Pro for almost 3 years now on a K6-II 500 based system with
few problems {except ones I created, ;) oops!} and would personaly hate to
go back to 98se, but to each their own I guess.
To quickly view a single video clip, I do usually prefer to use
"mediaplayer2"(6.4) because it allows access to codec info, it's smaller,
etc. In XP, go to the mediaplayer folder and find "mplayer2.exe" and create
a shortcut to it that you can put on your desktop, startmenu, quicklaunch
or another toolbar or folder, or wherever it's handy, or you can change
your associations to make it the default for whatever media types you want
to use it for. In XP you still have the option on the right click to 'Queue
it up', 'add to playlist', or 'play with mediaplayer', those options will
use mplayer 9 so you can access its advanced video/audio options.
Happy Computing!
