title: msa1 codec problems
body: <p>So my new job started.  The company provided me with a computer with a Windows Server 2008 operating system and they told me I should watch some Live Meeting recorded instructions and demonstrations about how the system works that I will be working on.</p>
  
  <p>Live Meeting, in case you don’t know, has a very cool feature where you can record a power point and video demonstration and play it back later.  The problem is that the video part does not work for a 64 bit operating system like Windows Server 2008.  An error prompts you to download an MSA1 codec.</p>
  
  <p>After a few attempts to solve the problem, I asked the administrative assistant for a second computer which she gave me.  But it turns out the only one I got was one with a Vista 64 bit operating system and I found I still had the same problem with the new computer.</p>
  
  <p>I have a 32 bit Vista operating system computer at home so I took the files home to see if I could run the Live Meeting recordings there.  To my shock, I got the same error.</p>
  
  <p>That is the problem I have.  Now here are my questions.  Where in the world do I get the codec for MSA1?  How do I install this file on my computer?  Surely there must be some sort of work-around for the computers with the 64 bit operating system.  What are these work-arounds?  I have searched the internet and I have yet to find a solution.</p>
  
  <p>What fun!</p>
