problem with displaying movie files

Hello
I have got movie files (avi) prepared in Adobe Premiere on Windows XP.
The current computer has Windows 7 Prof and plays these files without any problems.
Inquisit 4 (latest version), however, is not displaying them, although I've tried most popular codec packs.
What should I do? Do I need to prepare movie files once again on newer version of Windows? Or is there some other solution?
will be grateful for help

If the files aren't playing on the other computer, it means the computer does not have a proper DirectShow codec available to render them. You can try converting the files to another format for which that machine likely does have a suitable codec available (e.g. MPEG-2, WMV).

I've converted the files and now they are displayed, that's right.
The thing is that in my view files are not displayed properly (there is no smooth motion). I think I'll simply prepare new movie files.
