Installing Replacement M-JPEG Codecs

For Windows 95/98

Introduction

NOTE: People who had installed White Pine CU-SeeMe in the past should NOT get an expired codec error message EVEN IF YOU REMOVED THE WHITE PINE FROM YOUR SYSTEM!!! The deinstallation Wizard does not remove the codec, it only removes the CU-SeeMe application. The only way this error can show up is if the LAST codec installed is a Shareware version.
