Can't decode some AVI video files

For example, this one was referenced in JetBlast -- the human into the jet intake (2.8 MB).

http://www.fodnews.com/jetengine.avi

Saving the file and clicking on it, Windows Media Player opens, indicates "Locating Codec Server" in lower left hand side of window, then says "Error Downloading Codec", and starts playing audio but no video. This happens to about half my AVI files. MPEG files play OK.

Any tips appreciated.

Windows XP, IE6, IBM Thinkpad T40.
