Removing Indeo codec from windows 7

[SURNAME]

I was having 60GB of video files thus they were in avi file format. I can play these files in windows media player on my windows XP platform. Now I have upgraded myself from Windows XP to Windows 7. On my windows 7 platform I installed Indeo codec for my avi files. After the installation of new codec when I started to start playing my avi files in windows media player then I get an error message from window media player saying that old Indeo codec are not supported on windows 7 platforms. I need a solution which will help me in uninstalling old codec from my system so that I can play these videos in my windows media player without any error.
