codec problem... but more to it than that.

[JeremyBrown]

I've been reading that many people experience a stream error, and that this can be remedied by downloading and installing the old indeo 4.1 codec. However, my problem takes a different form than what I think most people get. I've copied the error here:

Close Combat Error
------------------
Error : Close Combat requires Indeo 4.1 to display the
videos. Plese run the Close Combat Setup again.
Location : File : TBX_Resource.cpp @ Line : 925 VER: 3.99.03.3001

I have followed the messages advice and reinstalled many times. I've also tried installing the indeo 4.1 codec available on this site. Still no luck! If anyone's seen this before or has any advice for me, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks,

First off, J.B., what are your computer specs and what OS are you running?

You can get around video problems by holding down the Ctrl key when you start the game. This will bring up the Option window and you should uncheck "Play Videos". This is a work around, not a fix.

oh man! that's exactly what I wanted to find out! I always thought it was silly that game takes a dump if it can't play a video. I'll give it a try.

i'm still curious about this little issue though, so I'm running xp pro, sp2.

bad news... it still crashes!

I'm beginning to suspect that my cc3 executable is corrupted some how. if i tell it to ignore the error, i get a new one that says: Can't find Picture: 1007. anyway, i'm eager to hear what you think!

thanks,

I'm having the same problem! Where can you download Indeo 4.1?

And please, in the future, just use the default font, default size and color like everybody else does. That big font size is not needed, and is in fact annoying.
