    I read in another forum that the codec in my computer might not be compatible with the Morrowing game. They suggested I try another one. Can someone tell me what is a codec and which is a good one to try?

    Codec stands for Compression/Decompression, which I think means that your computer takes stills of things that aren't moving and plays them, so it saves resources. That is, at least, how DivX works.

    Game codecs? I don't know of any, but I'd recommend just getting the latest drivers for you videocard (just go to their website). That should work.
