Here's a part answer to your problem: Microsoft dropped the indeo codec in their latest OS but it can be added. The indeo codec was very common a few years ago and was used for the FU2 intro movie (the yee-hah flight over the Golden Gate). You may get around this by skipping the movie. In FU3 the command no_movie makes the sim skip the intro.The movie is lglogo.avi in genpile. If you're unable to disable it you might try to put an avi file that you can play in its place and call it lglogo.avi. If you really need it I may edit the lglogo.avi and resave it in a more modern avi format but I'm sure that the indeo codec is still around.best regards,Hans Petter

You can also just delete the lglogo.avi file - the sim won't complain, and won't try to play any video.Cristian

Don,Are you running FU2 at 1024 by 768 resolution ? FU2 only supports the panels to a maximum resolution of 800 by 600.Chris Low,ENGLAND.

Had exactly the same problem when I went to XP. I did manage to find a few websites that had the codec available for free (Ligos will charge you $14.99). Unfortunately, I cannot remember where I got it from so its not much use to you really. Have a dive on the web, I'm sure you'll find it.Andy
