Hi,
Hopefully I am addressing the right problem.
On Windows 7, With both VLC 2.0.5 and VLC 2.0.6 when playing an .mkv file everything goes fine until I do seek on the file. If I seek at the beginning of the file, I don't have big problems, but when I seek after minutes 40 the file freezes.
I then close VLC.
If I try to open the file again, VLC is not opened again, but I can see that in the explorer window the "green" bar is taking time for loading.
If I check after closing VLC in task manager, I can see that VLC is still executing and that it is taking quite a good amount of CPU, as well as desktop window manager.
If I try to close the process from task manager, nothing happens: VLC is still in execution.
After this, the computer is very slow and I have hard time opening programs.
When I try to shut down the computer, the computer hangs and I have to brutally kill it with the start up button.
I have noticed some problems also playing some AVI files on windows media player and I have uninstalled some Windows update from 2011 that in some other forum, was the cause of succh issues, but it doesn't seem to have made any improvements in my case.
I think I have also the latest drivers, but this has started to happen all of a sudden few days ago without me changing anything in the computer configuration.
