How to repair corrupted AVIs?

Hello.
I have a problem in watching some AVI files that I have downloaded sometimes ago.
It happened to me to watch them recently but I saw that here and there appear "color
blurs" in the image.
I cannot explain better: instead of seeing a clear, neat image sometimes it looks
as if you threw a color (blue or green) on the screen and then it fades out.
I tried to see them on another PC with a different operating system.
Some of them are clear, some are still corrupted.
I want to point out that before, at the time I downloaded them, they were perfect.
And the strange thing is that the "blur corruption" happens only with "old" AVI (say
more than one year old). The rest of the video files that I have (WMV, QT, MPG) are
OK.
I don't think it's a codec conflict problem since it happens the same also with another
PC (with lesser codecs).
I tried to re-convert the files but the reconversion is not always affective.
Also I tried to run "AVI repair" (by Boilsoft) but it didn't work at all.
I tried other players (BS player, Divx player, Mplayer classic) but the blurs are
still there.
Can someone help me to figure out what happened and above all how can I restore those
files?
Thanks
