Some .AVI's not play in XP PRO

As shown on another thread, last week I installed XP Pro.. This weekend I chose to show a friend a couple of .avi files, which had both been run previously in '98se.
It came up with a missing codec error, and on visiting the INDEO site I find i am now expected to pay for a codec that was once bundled as part of windows....
Anyone else had similar probs. I wonder if there is a freebee converter proggy out there which would take these files and turn them into Mpeg or Ram, both of which I can run.
