There are many reasons why but most commonly it's the codec that the AVI was made with. You might have had a third party codec component installed previously and now, after re-install, you don't. If you can, try to open the file again (does anything happen? Is it just a blank window or does the file just not open at all?) try and do a "get info" from the file, it might tell you which codec the AVI file was produced in.
You can get many Quicktime components here:
