Try playing them with mplayer or VLC. Neither relys on installed codecs/filters so it will tell you if it is a problem with the files or your setup.

More simply I would try installing Xvid and freeware version of DivX. They cover 99% of the AVI types, Xvid is free and DivX must be purchased only if you want COmpress files, nor DECompress.
