I have had the same thing.

Were the avi's you where trying on a game cd? I have found that some games
have a different type of avi to the usual windows player ones. But i
recently loaded a game cd and found all my games came to life - eg they had
video where there was no video before??

I think the name of the video drivers was indeo - you could try searching
for that i guess.
Or get a copy of Colin Macrae racing or Need for speed 3 and let it load
everything (video drivers).

I think i had trouble because when i loaded games i thought i had the latest
video drivers from the windows player and didn't want to overwrite them so i
ignored it when wanting to install - like when it wants to install directx
5.0 when iv'e already got 6........

Try it. It might work.
Good luck.
