RE: How do I watch an .avi file?
I strongly suggest VLC Media Player for playing video media. It can play pretty much everything that wont play in anything else, and most likely uses less resources then your current media player.

Anyway, the reason the file wont play is because you do not have the required codecs to play the file. Codecs are the different type of ways audio/video is compressed by its authors. And of course, to decompress them you need the proper instructions to decompress them, fortunantly, VLC Media player has a large collection of methods for decompressing files of formats most of us have never even heard of.
