    Get VLC Player All... codecs are already installed in the program... It works with most operating systems and opens just about any video file...

    Go to the provided link and get the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. This is a must have for everyone. It will give you what you need.

    I don't know if that's your problem, but

    the most common codec is divx (www.divx.com)

    the other popular codec is K-lite ( just search for it, it's easy to find)

    and .avi file DO work in windows media player
