Here ya go skippy,

Go to this link and download DivX 6.0 play bundle. http://www.free-codecs.com/DivX6_download.htm

Download the installer and let it run. Uncheck the box you see to install the DivX player. No real need for yet another program since you already have Win Med Player, Quicktime, Real P....maybe some others. You just need the codecs. Might also expand that one option and uncheck the DivX Pro 6 month trial. Again, you just need the codecs.

Just install VLC Media Player. [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/]
You can see what formats it can play here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

vlc, and make sure you select vlc to play .avi by default too.
