They appear to be encoded with a codec that is not supported by this PC, so
I am unable to view them. I don't know what the codec is, but it doesn't
matter as I couldn't load the codec if I did.

I have found another PC where it is posible to move the task bar by dragging
on the clock. However, you still can't drag in the space after the quick
launch icons. However, I note that the task bar is set up a little
differently to this one where dragging on the clock definitely doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a 'standard' .avi file. They can be encoded in a
bewildering variety of codecs. I can view .avi files in a not so large
variety of formats, but like any PC, not all of them. Unfortunately, yours
is one that I can't read.

AVI is a "wrapper". (in a sense, something like zip, except its for AV
apps).

Who knows what the limits are, on what is, and what is not, allowed to be
wrapped, however. I expect it's loosely defined in some spec somewhere.

That will be because your PC has that particular codec installed on it. Any
AVI viewer on that PC should be able to pick the codec up and correctly
display the video.
