I exported a screen saver but when I tried to install it on another computer (running Windows XP) I get get the following error message:
The program you are trying to run requires a current Indeo codec.
To obtain a current driver that is compatible with this version of Windows, please contact the manufacturer at http://indeo.ligos.com.
The indeo website wants $14.95 for the codec. Would every computer I want to install the screen saver on need to buy a codec? Is their any way around needing to install a codec?
Any help is appreciated!!!

Hi Nixielee,
Welcome to the forum. The information on the Ligos site indicates that new PCs (since release of XP SP1) and older PCs with a clean install of Windows XP Service Pack 1 would need to obtain the codec. It appears that Microsoft stopped providing the codec as a part of Windows beginning with XP SP1.
Although Ligos no longer provides the free version of the codec, you may be able to find it by doing a search on Google.
UPDATE: A search for "indeo codec" on google turned up many sites. One that has the movie codec for download is moviecodec.com
New Update: Nixielee, additional information provided by Pappy in the New Gear forum leads me to think the free version of the indeo codec may not function correctly on a PC with WinXP SP1.
