6) Windows Issues

6.1) Can´t enter buildings in town
Problem: Your townmsk*.avi files are compressed and won´t work in Windows
2000/XP
Solution: Download Virtualdub.
Save the open file in Vdub with the "Save old-format AVI" option with a new file name (such as mask1.avi). You should see some strange graphics appear; you will get back a large 32MB file. Now exit Virtualdub and then in Windows Explorer rename the new file from mask1.avi to townmsk1.avi (over the old file - say Yes to the "Do you want to replace" dialog box). Do the same procedure to the other two town mask files (townmsk2.avi and townmsk3.avi) changing the initial save names as appropriate.

Does this HELP visually to make the problems easier to spot AND to make the recognition bit different from the problems/solutions
