On this machine I don't remember installing any special codecs, but sometimes I have a little project I'm working on and download whatever I need to to get it done. As far as codecs on this machine I'm pretty sure I don't have any - I just use VLC player for AVI files. I have the Divx player installed too, but that shouldn't cause any problems. I know my machine isn't a 16GB RAM self-built gaming titan, but I really don't want to believe it's already outdated, that it was outdated by this game before it even came out for sale. Ignoring the gameplay graphical issues, how can I check codecs and compatability? Where do I actually look to see if I have this Xvid codec, and how do I make sure it's gone. I did the right click Composition and Scaling thing, by the way. Thanks for the help.
P.S. The machine is still selling for a Grand, and it's considered a "Gaming Laptop" on cnet, so what are these developers thinking by limiting themselves so much? I, like many people, require mobility of my machine, so what are these developers thinking when they produce these games? Why limit themselves to the self-building desktop community by under-developing the game? I say this because the graphics are not top-notch and yet still so demanding. I'm not a developer, and I don't have a clue about the difficulties in composing all the code, but I can compare one game to another, and I can be upset about spending money on something that malfunctions. On another side note, I played Dragon Age: Origins on high graphics just fine on this machine (though I hated the actual game), so what's Larian's problem? I can't wait for their neighbors to release Gothic 4, or whatever they're calling it. I bet I'll be able to play that just fine too.
