vids:IV32 decompressor ?

[Hertston]

Not the end of the world as all it seems to affect is the opening video, but all I get is a white box criss-crossed with black and the message "video not available, cannot find vids:IV32 compressor".

Is there a fix ? I had a quick search, but all the replies seem to relate to Windows 95 or Windows 98 installations. It seems to relate to compression for AVI movies; can someone tell this non-nerd how to restore the necessary files in XP ?

Thanks.



EDIT:

Fixed; I'll leave this here in case anyone else has the same problem. I just downloaded the codec ( ir32_32.dll ) and dumped it in the Windows/System 32 directory and it works, so messing with the registry wasn't necessary after all.

In case anyone does have the same problem... (I don't [8D]) How about a link to save people the trouble of looking it up for themselves.

He has linked [;)], hover over the "ir32_32.dll"

I've tried using the color function before, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work on text in a link. [&:]

It should, but you have to get your nesting right. Make the link, then put the colour tags inside the link tags. Believe that works.
