I have an .avi file that will not load in IrfanView. I always get the error " Video not available, can not find VIDS: Mp43 decompressor". I download the newest plugins for IrfanView, but this file still will not load. Is there another plugin that I need and where would I find this plugin for IrfanView?

This has nothing to do with the IrfanView-specific plugins, but depends only on the media Codecs you have installed for your OS.
Generally speaking, it will always be impossible for IrfanView to playback any AVI that you can not also play in the normal media player of your OS, and in some cases it might not work with some AVIs even if they can be used in that player (because some Codecs may be 'quirky'/bugged depending on Microsoft player specifics).
Most likely your problem can be solved just by installing one of the many multi-Codec packs available, though I can't be sure without knowing more about your AVI. (Did you check it with the 'GSpot' utility or other AVI tools?)

Agreed with dlanor. It's not a IV-prob, but a system one.
AVI indeed has some tricky variants lately. As the mentioned "Mp43 decompressor", it's a matter of codecs.
A nice free package, solving most of such probs is the K-Lite one :
