An avi file does not necessarily contain picture. Be sure that they do actually contain picture before you can be sure something is wrong.
If you are sure they do, then your computer can't handle the data rate required. Some avi's at the compression stage are told to prioritise audio - meaning the audio will play even if the picture can't due to too slow computer, or any other reason.

Yea I had this problem before. Download a latest AVI codec pack. They are available in download.com (or just google search for avi codec). Install and restart and you are good to go.

So..
K-lite is a good package you can use to solve all your problems with missing codecs. It's free. Download here http://j.mp/1kl9tj8

you may need to download codecs for WMP, these can be found from divX or you can search google for free codecs, it should not be too hard to find. Hope this helps

Its because you do not have the correct codec on your PC. Download this and use it to play your files.
