Hi peeps.. cant figure out whats wrong.. I downloaded vlc player version VLC 0.8.2, it was working fine. was right in the middle of a movie and it crashed, and now I am unable to even open the program back up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, opened it up... and it immediately crashes and puts up one of the "would you like to report this crash" message. any clues what I may do? thanx dunk

I found that preferences file and deleted it.. It works beautifully again!! Thanx dude!! you ROCK

Hey Folks

I've got the same problem like dunkelug...But sadly I didnt find any preferences file yet...Can u tell me where to find it??
I'd be really glad to get vlc workin again since i dont like the other players :/

Thx in advance

Hi deTobi

Use the power of the FAQ !

Oh...sry thx a lot for reply it worked fine

Now I accidently saw a Button in the Startmenue-Folder called 'Reset VLC defaults and quit' with the target '~vlcdir~\vlc.exe --reset-config --reset-plugins-cache --save-config vlc:quit '
Does this one the same as deleting the config file or is there a difference?

Btw. Sry for bad english :/

Yes it does the same.
