Does the file open with another player?
Try VLC and see if it opens.
Also put the file in aother folder that does not have _ before it. That might not be the fix but you never know.

I do not understand why I should try VLC or anything else when I said above:
When I run WMP and open AVI file it works PERFECT.

I have only a problem with OPEN WITH list and looking for the way to fix it.

found solution myself :)
it is just enough to run regedit locally as user
and delete all entries at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.avi

than the whole list can be recreated
