  u must have lost your avisplitter. i dunnoe where to get it but i noe of an alternative.
  
  Haali Media Splitter. x264.nl
  
  Scroll to Haali Media Splitter and dl it.
  When installing, rmb to check the "Decode AVI" or something liddat.
  
  Then can playback liao.
  
  FFDShow can be found there also
  
  Oh, and MediaPlayerClassic (also found there) can decode avi also
