Help a dummy out here. I rarely if ever look at videos on the computer. I downloaded the file. When I double click on it, Windohs Media Player pops up, tries to download a codec and fails so I hear sound but get no video.



Who/what/when/where/how do I get this to work?

Thanks.

Gspot can identify the codecs used in nearly any movie file. It is then a relatively simple matter of downloading the codec with the help of a search engine.

Slick, you'll probably need the latest DivX codec. You can get it from http://www.divx.com/divx/play/download/.

Make sure to just get the codec, not their highly annoying media player... It is worse than WIMP.

I'm going thru the video, pausing at every step to see details and it sure looks like there are LOTS of things that are either revealed outright or hinted at by looking at the screens. I'll post a list of my observations soon.

Bah. Too many stats screens to be useful. Camera control isn't very smooth, I noticed. And tactical ground combat seems overly complicated, unless there's some kind of shortcut for the attack and goto commands.

Nice space combat too. Can it be paused again after you've set it off.
