Logitech Webcam records .avi file movies but won’t play on Windows Media Player?

I take care of my daughter during the day and record videos from my webcam to send to mom. She receives them in a .avi format and plays them on Windows Media Player, or at least tries to. She can hear the audio but can’t see the video which defeats the purpose of sending my videos. Does she need to install a “codec” on her Windows XP machine? Can you point me in the right direction, i.e. Link to download correct software? I don’t believe the webcam can record in any other format.

What’s the best software to help a tech-clueless adult learn how to use a computer?

Thinking of getting my mom a computer for Christmas, and would love to give her software that can help tutor her. Even something intended for kids might work.
