Codec error on Windows Media Player? Help!

I'm trying to watch movie files on Window's Media Player (Series 9). But I can't get it to work, the files I want to watch are normally .avi

When I start the movie it says "Searching for Codec" "Downloading Codec" "error with Codec"

I don't even know what a codec is! Can anyone help me with my problem?

...Well I choose the largest one there, installed on a clean system and a normal system. Both got the adware problem with Internet Explorer STRAIGHT after installation.
