Why do my AVI videos not play correctly?

About half the time when I try to play AVI videos in Realplayer all I get is the sound with no picture. What is wrong here and what can I do about it?

Update:

I have the AVI codec and I never had any trouble playing AVI files until a couple of months ago.

    probably cause the AVI has a DIVX codec in it, dont' play those kinda files in Real Player, use the Divx Player you can get it at http://www.divx.com/ it's free
