Sorry for the duplicate post, but I never saw this show up so I'm trying
again. When I try to install Win2000 SP3 I'm getting an error message that
my
mplayer2.inf file is open or in use. I can't find any application that is
using the file. I've tried running chkdsk and rebooting, but still no go.
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the three answers to your previous post:

It can be a permission problem (corrupt or missing)...

This is a media player file, try booting in safe mode or use that old standby
msconfig for programs that are running on boot up...get it from the following

fyi - you can expect problems if you didn't reboot your computer before
installing sp3 - fwiw
