Have you tried VLC?

Download G-Spot, which will ID the codec used to encode the file.

Try GOM player -- it can play anything. I used to think that VLC was good, but GOM can play "broken" avis which VLC often can't.

It seems the file is corrupted then. Have you tried Googling for the file name? Maybe the source can tell you what codec was used.

Other options may be:
The index is broken.
VLC can usually play such files and Gspot should
id that. The GOM player should also be able to play it.

You could install more codecs on your system, eg KLite codec
pack from www.free-codecs.com

Download DivXRepair and try it:
