Eboy,
The contract between Ligos and Microsoft ended in 2002.
With the September 2002 update to Windows XP (known as Service Pack 1), Microsoft suspended distribution of the Indeo codecs as a base part of its operating system. This only affects users with new PCs that are shipping with Windows XP Service Pack 1, or clean installs of Windows XP SP1 on an older system. Unfortunately, a number of game and multimedia titles require Indeo to be installed on the OS in order to function.
Please note that this was Microsoft's decision alone, as Ligos honors any legacy Indeo Distribution Agreements between Intel and other parties.
Take Care,
Richard
