Question The source filter for this file could not be

This is the error I get when trying to play a .avi file on my computer..
I have the correct avi codecs needed... Avi's have always worked on my computer... I was watching them yesterday but today they are not working...
I have tried opening about 10 different movies in avi file and none of them work without getting this error...

Anyone know what my problem is?
PS: I'm using Windows media Player 10 on Windows XP]
Thanks

Recommend you try this.
Uninstall your WMP10. This should roll back to WMP9. Then, reinstall Windows Media Player 10.
