windows movie maker not playing video?

When I drag a clip onto the timeline in windows movie maker, it only plays the video's audio against a black screen in the preview. Has anyone else had this problem? It's an avi file, so I don't know what's wrong.

    Your computer is likely lacking the necessary codecs to play the AVI video. Codecs like DivX, Xvid, ffdShow & AC3 are common codecs required to play popular videos. You can simply download a CODEC package that has almost all of today's popular codecs. Install that and you should be able to play almost any video file.
