you need the codec to play the avi file

download and install this file below, when installing, just accept all default settings it may offer. Once installed, you probaly will have a new program group created when you click start and then move mouse up to programs, you will never have to worry about clicking on any of them.

Once nstalled you will have no problem viewing avi files
