I have a number of downloaded avi files. Some play OK, most don't. What possible causes or solutions could there be. I have Windows Media Player which says that it downloaded a decompressor which did not work (MPEG 4?). I have also tried Real Playerwith similar results.

Go to www.divx.com and download the codec (decompressor) from there, and also try their avi player, called The Playa.

You need to download DIVX. You should be able to play all.
Here is the address http://www.divx.com/
