When I try to play an AVI file in MPC I get this message telling me that "Media Player Classic could not render some of the pins in the graph, you may not have the needed codecs or filters installed on the system." Then it goes on to say "The following pin(s)failed to find a connectable filter:"
Then it lists these pin(s) as follows:

Media Type 0:

I have installed K-Lite codec Pack and all of its upgrades.

I just want to watch a movie. What do you recommend?

Also I have tried VLC Media Player...it started to "repair" the AVI file but it never stopped (still going...and I am pretty sure it is frozen). After that I tried to play on DivX and it played about 2 seconds and then it stopped to tell me that it needed to download information (I am assuming updated codecs) to continue playback. It also froze.

Try UNINSTALLING and then REINSTALLING your codecs (uninstall the older one first), mainly the Video Codecs.
