How to Fix AVI File Extension Error?

This is just bizarre. I created a project last night and had saved it in AVI file format. I changed nothing that I am aware of. As I tried to view it in morning I got error message ‘AVI file extension error cannot open your AVI file. Could it be a codec issue?’ I even reinstalled the AVI application hoping something would default back to what it was. But, it remains the same; I cannot get back what I had been working on for so long. HELP, please? I am not a complete newbie but this one is beyond my level; thanks to anyone who can help.”
