searchingtom Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I just got a new Compaq X1000 laptop and installed CMBO spec ed and I received an error message that said: get the latest video driver from indeo.ligos.com,, I get no video and can't see the menus. I have a 9200 radeon mobility 64 mb. Has anyone run into this ? Help ! Thanks, Spec 4 Tom (a green newby) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searchingtom Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Here is the exact mesage I am getting... The program you are trying to run requires a current Indeo codec. To obtain a current drive that is compatible with this version of Windows, please contact the manufacturer at http://ligos.com, When I go to that site, the want $14.95 for the download... Has anybody run into this ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 When CMBO was first released the Indeo codec was available for free. All the codec does is play the movie/splash screen. It is not necessary for play within CMBO itself. I believe that CDV are the ones who decided to go with the Indeo codec and they are the ones distributing the CMBO Special Edition. If you start the game with the Spacebar pressed down, I believe that it will skip the movie/splash screen. This may allow you to get past the blank screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
