indeo codec needed?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have just moved to a new computer, both were windows xp pro. On the new
computer when I try to run a game it tells me I need to obtain an indeo
codec for windows xp. When i go to the indeo site I am asked for $14 for
this. Yet on my old computer the game ran without telling me I needed a
codec.

My assumption is that either my new windows install hasn't loaded this codec
and should have done (in which case how can i?) or my graphics card drivers
haven't loaded it.

Cheers for any help

Roger

Hi Roger,

The contract expired, so the codec is no longer included. Indeo has assumed
that they will make more money charging each client themselves.
