They are definately there. I've tried uninstalling the Indeo 5.11 codec and trying other downloads of the same Indeo 5.11 codec. So it's not that I've picked up a bodgy download. NONE of them work. And whatever possessed you to change the codecs to Indeo?

Just to avoid starting a new topic... I've got the same problem with the codec I assume. There is a difference though. I have that microsoft patch installed, and I have the Indeo 5.11 codec. I still get the same error startup. It's not the startup I'm most worried about, though, its the fact that the game crashes everytime something goes to explode when flying around the surface of the planet. Are there any other possible fixes. NOTE: I have played with no problems off a clean install of Win XP with Service Pack 1. I had to format my drive a while back, and I've just got around to re-installing BCMG and now I'm getting a problem... weird, huh?
