MP42 codec Where can I get it?

[Thunderbird]

I have some clip downloads that appear to need MP42 codec. I have followed a
number of links on various sites, but the files are not on the servers.

Does anybody know where I can get this codec, or if you have got it, could you mail it
to me?

Thanks

HELP

I downloaded and installed Tsunami like you suggested.

When I went to use Winmedia player, it would not play any of the AVIs that it had
before.

I had installed DivX4Win40a50.exe and iv5setup.exe, and together they were able to
play almost all the avis, and the last produced Divx.2.0 alpha player which played the
other.

I reinstalled the previous copy of the registry, reinstalled Winmedia player
6.4.07.1112, reinstalled the two previous codec files. It did not work.

Properties suggest the following codecs are needed but not present:

DX50 The avi actually plays, but most of the screen is bright green.

div4 This avi locks up the entire computer requiring a reset and the blue screen of
death (Scandisk).

MP42 Winmedia player does nothing. There are stationary green patches on the
player screen.

div3 codex and divx codec also cause computer lockups when those avis are
attempted to be played.

I have spent a day on this trying to recover the previous position. It is very frustrating
since it WAS working before the Tsunami package. I guess that the title is right and
it washes everything away.

iv5setup.exe does not produce the divx player anymore when it is run.

Computer details:
ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2X

64Mb Ram AMD 333hz Win95


How can I get back to where I was???

Watch out for word wrap with the link.
