problem with midi file export

[Jay Hamilton]

XP Pro
lily 2.8x (1 or 4) but doesn't seem to matter the midi files from 2.6x have the 
same problem

Before switching to a new machine and xp-pro I had to change the extension on 
the midi files to mid 
*after* they were produced.  But once I did that I could import it/play it via 
the various software that I have.

That is no longer the case when I try to play a midi file produced by lily now 
I get

"The specidfied file cannot be played on the specified MCI device.  the file 
may be corrupt, not in the correct format, or no fil"

Which I have no idea what that means exactly or how to fix it.  I haven't 
figured out a way to change the file extension in XP=pro either and changing it 
in the lily file didn't work.
