No please don't Kill Haali!
Oh you mean his splitter, ok ok, well:

Is there a directory: C:\Program Files\Haali ?
If so, delete it.

Else search your system for splitter.ax and (FIRST RENAME IT splitter.ax.bak AND TEST) delete it if you are sure its the file being used.

These are the simple options, let us know if these don't work

The Haali splitter shouldn't be activating for AVI files anyways.

...except when you check the "Handle AVI files" checkbox upon installing it...

I never checked anything in the checkbox because i didnt even install it..I tried renaming the splitter but it didnt help any..This is really unresponsible for the company behing haali to do this..

Well, if you didn't do it something else did it, as Haali's Media Splitter isn't a virus that spreads itself all over the internet...

Since it's a private project there's no company.

You wouldn't happen to have installed a codec pack or three? Those are the likeliest candidates for installing Haali's Splitter with them.

Also, doing a "regsvr32 /u splitter.ax" should be enough to disable it. If audio decoding doesn't work afterwards, it's hardly the splitter's fault.

If it's not coming from where you think it is, use this tool to unregister the instances:

I'd say uninstall, but if you used a codec pack (or software like SUPER, which silently installs a codec pack), it won't have an individual entry and might not go out with the installer.

Ok, how about reinstalling it? Get the installer from http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/ and run it. Install it on the same directory where splitter.ax is installed. It should also give you an option to enable (or in this case disable) haali media splitter for avi files. After that it shouldn't bug you with avi's no more.

Yeah, reinstall the latest version of Haali and tell it not to activate for AVIs.

It sounds like you installed a codec pack that uses it but didn't configure it properly (*cough* K-lite *cough).

K-Lite does not use Haali for AVI unless you specifically instruct it to do so. Same applies to CCCP. So the topic starter should at least have seen the term 'Haali' once if that was the case.

Since the topic starter is unaware that Haali was installed, it might have been installed by some video conversion application. Those often install all kinds of filters without letting the user know about it.

Have you installed the Vista Codec Pack? It uses Haali. This is a prime reason why NOT to use any codec packs btw.
