It could be that WMP doesn't recognise the codec for the video.

Try opening it with a decent media player, instead of WMP. If the data forms a valid AVI file (irrespective of the codec used), VLC should open it:

Anything like :

Real Media Player
Quicktime Media Player
or
DivX player

will open .AVI files.

You'll probably need to download the divx codec from www.divx.com

Click Tools -Options-Performance- then move slider to video acceleration Full.
If it is already at Full do you have a reasonable graphics card ?

Sounds like a codec problem
