Default no video playing avi-files in MM 2.1

First excuse my English, I'm Dutch.
Some time ago suddenly avi-movies (made with Fujitsu en Canon digital
camera's) wouldn't play in Windows Mediaplayer (version 10), only audio but
no
video. After downloading and trying lots of codec-packs it worked again.
The problem is that in Windows Moviemaker the problem STILL exists, ONLY
AUDIO but NO VIDEO. I can remember that some time ago eveything worked well,
there
must have been gone something wrong since then.
The screen remains black while you hear the sound being played.
Is there a specific codec I need to reinstall or must I reinstall or repair
Windows Moviemaker and how?

Digital cameras normally use a different type of avi file to dv-avi which is
used by camcorders adn movie maker. Some people have found by sticking to an
older version of MM then the other avi files can still be imported.
Since it last worked, do you know what you may have installed,
upgraded/unistalled etc to the pc?
Can you use system restore back to the point when it did work?
