It sounds to me like a CODEC problem. You need xtra ones that will recognise the videos. There's numerous types of AVI. AVI is just the outer shell, what's inside could be a great many variants.

A list of CODECs sources can be found here: 1. Free-Codecs.com, 2. Nimo’s codec pack, 3. CoDecs & codec identifiers, 4. K-Litecode Codec Pack

Also consider getting a backup player with built-in codecs such as VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose nearest mirror site)

WMP sucks! as a player it really does. lol
