      Just got Mask of Eternity.  Using XP, program freezes after I get ax from windmill and meet black knight.  Any fixes for this?

      Tawmis and any others more knowledgeable than I.  Finaly got to play KQ8.  I’m on a WinXPpro. SVpack 3 machine.  Got all the way to entering Realm of the sun when the error message arrived with “need a new indeo codec”.  Had all the hangups others have had early in the game.  Been all over Sierra sites and the web.  Installed the Sierra  KQCollection Serries Setups for Mask.  Still had to try various combinations of graphics choices in the options menues in order to get various cutscene videos throughout the game to run and allow me back to mouse control.  Researched the Indeo codec problem.  Got both the archived file 5.11 and finaly found a free version of 5.2 (which indeo wants to sell for $14.95) when web research shows it is not a significant update to 5.11.   Installed all the codec updates but still get the same error message.  Has anyone had the same problem?  Is there a solution?  Sierra fan from the very start, inc. All KQ, Laura Bow, etc.  Thanks for any info.  Steve

      This may be the fix for you (I’d recommend joining us on SHP, where it’s easier for us to reply to whether what we have there fixes it for you! Collector is the genius behind SHP and hopefully this is your fix!) We would love to hear whether it fixes it or not.
