A message saying "Error downloading codec" appears. Only the sound is working but no picture at all.

If you want to play avi files on Windows Media Player 9 then you will need to add some codec so WMP can read and play these files. Please refer to Chris Lanier's article on how to install and you the codecs.
"Guide To AVI Playback In Windows Media Player" -- C. Lanier
(http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/articles/10453.aspx)
"Basic Information:An AVI is a container format that will hold audio and video. Windows Media Player does support playback of AVI files, but in the past few years their have been many new codec's developed to compress the audio and the video that is inside the AVI file." -- excerpt from article.

Here you can download K-lite Codec Pack http://bitly.com/1kl9KCr
you need this software if you can't open files (like mp4, divx and much more), play videos or if you see a missing codec message. This is a very useful software that will solve all your codec issues

Hello,
A good solution is KLite Codec Pack, a collection of audio/video codecs. I fixed my issues with videos and audios with this package. Free Download here http://bit.ly/1kl9qnj

you need a new codec pack. Try downloading a divx/xvid codec. Also you might want to look into codec packs like the Matroska codec pack (my favorite, that solved pretty much all my problems with videos for the last 2 years)

All of the above answers are correct. You need the appropriate 3rd party codec to play this type of file in WMP. I just wanted to add my favorite codec pack: Ace Mega Codec. It's free.
