Unable to use or uninstall VLC player

Postby waassy » 05 Jun 2009 17:32

Hi,

I can only use VLC player in safe mode. In other user profile, when I click the file to play, the privary and network policy appears for like a sec. and then disappers, it will not play the media file. I can play the file using the VLC player in my the other computer.

Can anyone tell me how I can uninstall it and re-install a working version.

many thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Waassy

What OS are you using? Are you trying to uninstall/re-install in save mode?

Arite.

it is not good to use a player in safe mode (mode sans échec), it does not make for that.
(you can go to the (C :) 'proprieties' and choose 'tool' and choose two options : REPARE AND LOOK FOR ERRORS.)
In a normal use, whith all fonctions , OS must be whithout errors. In windows all the links are together so when something is wrong, it can be a virus or a hacker. RE-install windows or use tools against this problem :
i ,i should reinstall ....
