Probably nothing, you may not have the correct codecs installed for those particular files to play, i went looking for a link for a codec pack in the links section & couldn't find one, not sure if that's an omission or deliberate, however someone will doubtless post one

Here are a few links to codec packs, you will normally only require one installed as they are mostly the same.

No thats not necessary the file is fine I,m sure ,normally its just the computer did not have the rght codec to play it back correctly, you should be fine now.

Sounds like you still dont have the correct codecs for the files to play right..

I would suggest a different player also.. There is one called the Video Lan Client (vlc for short) that play almost any files.. esp avi ones.. give this a try
