It doesn't work on Wine 1.1.9 at Fedora 10. Could it also be the Wine version?

With prior version of the game, I never installed the Intel Indeo codecs and
still everything worked fine...

Could you provide us with a suitable link for *Wine-compatible* Intel Indeo
codecs, so we can confirm that it is/or is not a codec issue?

Thanks.
