Cant Watch .avi, help before i break my pc

Im trying to watch an .avi file, it refuses to let me. Wont run, instead gives me the option of Web help, prompting me to this screen So I am ready to break the computer. I tried a windows update, reinstalled Windows Media Player since it claims to come with all the codecs i need, and I got winamp which just wont run it. I also have a video converter, which says i dont have the right decoder and wont let me change the files.

...Any ideas? please? -.-

Then the avi is damaged or something, VLC media player not running a .avi = hax.

you need to get a program calle Gspot, it will tell you what codecs you need to play the file. then you get the codec.
