PPT converted to AVI now offline

I converted a .ppt file to .avi, and used it in computer 1 in which all media is in a secondary internal drive, and it works perfectly. I installed VMSP 8.0d in computer 2 because it has better sound card, more ram, bigger and better processor, etc.... Opened the project in computer 2 and mpg4 video shows up beautifully, but the ppt.avi converted file is now Offline.
Both computers are Win XP Pro. Computer 1 has DDR2 ram and computer 2 has DDR3 ram. Computer 2 is optimized for Pro Tools use.
I saw one topic in which the MJPEG codec was suggested and it worked. I downloaded it and installed it, and rebooted computer 2 and nothing. I saw a suggestion in which the media should be placed on a mapped drive. Did that and nothing. I have seen no more topics regarding this particular problem. Again,
VMSP 8.0d
Win XP Pro
E6850 Intel Core2 Duo 3GHz CPU
3.25 GB DDR3 ram
M-Audio ProFire 2626 Audio Interface
GF 8600GT 540M 256MB DDR3 TV DVI PCI-E
This computer has been optimized for PRO Tools.

Please let me know if there is more info needed to solve this problem.

Did you copy the AVI file to the new computer with all of the other assets?

Yes I did. Thank you for your response. I did find the solution though. It seems that the defaulted codecs needed to be upgraded and I found the upgrades. The way that I found that out was that I looked into the System info and found that the codecs in the Multimedia tab were not up to date. I only recognized this because I have done much software troubleshooting in the past. So, thanks again.
