I just installed a new computer with Windows XP. I'm
unable to run Zoo Tycoon because "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." My Zoo Tycoon runs fine on a
different computer with XP. When logging into the
referenced website, they want to charge me $15. Any
suggestions?

Windows XP SR2 which was just released does not contain
the INDEO CODEC drivers. The Windows XP SR1 does have
them. That is more than likely the difference between the
two computers. So far I can not find a free solution for
the problem. I have several Microsoft games purchased
within the last two years which have the same problem. I
believe Microsoft should address the problem by offering
the drivers. I have no idea how to make that happen.

As I already posted, the download is at the Zoo Tycoon website.
