How to add audio codec in WINXP?

[rogers]

Yahoo! Messenger is unable to locate the DSP Group TrueSpeechTM audio
compression (CODEC) software on my computer. What is the way to install it
in WINXP? According to the information I got on internet this codec is
supposed to be installed during XP installation, but I do not have it.
