Id like to add this.

This is with the most recent xp that has sp1 built in, not the older xp. For instance I didnt get this error with xp, but my friend did.

I still had to virtual dub the town avis, that is different problem.

This error though is more likely dealing with the opening. I recomend either virtual dubbing that,
Or getting out notepad, saving a file with same name but .txt then renaming it to .avi. This is a placeholder file and the game should work it will just go black for a second before it starts. This works with bink video problems for newer games.

This is a licensing thing it affects a few games from this era. XP used to come with the indeo codec now it does not.

Indeo wants you to pay $20 or something. Its not freeware anymore. If you can find a freeware version dl it and see if it fixes it.


Id be interested in exactly when it stops running. I dont have WW installed right now to check the exact filename, but the opening avis can be changed in the file called something to the effect of WW.ini or deep6.ini or something like that. But thats complicated see if anything I said works first.
