have you tried playing videos on other media player software, like Winamp or Media Player Classic?

If your system doesn't have the correct codecs then you might get funky stuff like that when you are playing certain avi files. Instead of downloading a huge codec pack which might just make things worse I would try using VLC as your media player to see if videos work in that VLC Website . That will play almost anything that you throw at is since all of the codecs are built into the player and it doesn't use the ones supplied by windows.

Hope that helps you out.
