    I would look at the codecs that you have installed on your PC. Go here: http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/ and install the codec pack. Then try to run the AVI from Windows Media Player.

    It's probably not the player that's at fault but the lack of the correct codec; download K-Lite Codec Pack Full or Mega

    http://www.filehippo.com/search?q=codec

    the packages will include Media Player Classic and/or BS player which should play your movie; or try VLC media player

    Quicktime is the best avi movie player.
