The VideoLAN Forums

I downloaded a game off of Gamejolt and it was a .rar file, I saw I could open it using VLC and did it just to see what happened, now I can't go back to how it was. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you!

Back to how VLC was ? First, reboot your computer, then reset the preferences and cache (the manual way) and try again:
