Aptiva - Error Msg: No MPEG drivers installed when trying to play MPEG titles

Applicable to: United States

The Windows name of the MPEG driver is the MS/OpenMPEG standard MpegVideo. Some early MPEG applications
written by/for RealMagic cards may not recognize this name because they are looking for a device name of "Reelmagic." The error message is usually something from the application, such as "no MPEG drivers installed."

To correct this, in System.ini and Win.ini, change MpegVideo to Reelmagic, although this will break the preloaded MPEG apps.
