[relaxandreflect]

I am trying to play some xvid movies on wmp 7 with xvid plugin. whenever i switch to a different program, wmp locks up.

how fast is your sytem,
anyways. try downloading FFDshow , it has xvid codec inside too and used lest CPU power.
You can get the file here FFDHOW

If that does not work, or even anyway, you could try using the existing WMP 6.4 (mplayer2.exe) or MP Classic.

i thought the 6.4 would work, but i can't install a different version since it's at work. i'll try the ffdshow. that looks like it might.

6.4 is is installed by default, it is just not associated with files by default if a later version is also installed. So you can assign the file associations to it in its configuration or run it from the Run command, depending on whether you are able or allowed to change anything. If you are able to create a shortcut then it would be useful in the Send To folder for convenience and minimally noticeable change to anyone else. Then just right-click on a media file and choose Send To > Media Player 64 (or whatever you call the shortcut).
