Default problems opening with wmp (mpeg+avi)

I can't play the files I downloaded,one is 330MB mpg and the other is avi of the same show. My WMP says it supports these formats.
What I get is a color test pattern instead of the desired material and with the second file I get a dark screen that shows that it is "playing" for 13 seconds and then stops.
Do I need some sort of codec or could these be corrupted files?
The last time I downloaded free codecs I had so many spyware etc issues I had to spend hours fixing it.
Win.XP home p4 1.8 388 RAM WMP10 all updates. Limewire pro recent download. Thanks a lot ! Joe-absolute newbie-pls cut me some slack here!
