This update addresses the "Game Stops Responding or Quits Unexpectedly When Introductory Video Clip Is Played" issue in Windows XP

you may receive an error message that is similar to one of the following messages:

Video not available - cannot find 'VIDS:IV50' decompressor
Failed (hr=0x80004002) in pVW-> put_Owner((OAHWND)HWnd)

This behavior occurs if the following conditions are true: The game that you want to play contains video that is compressed with the Indeo video codec (like Mafia) and the Indeo codec is not installed on the computer. The Indeo codec is not included in Windows XP ( with SP1 slipstreamed)

download it from here

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
