A couple of days ago I started having problems with my video files (mainly avi). These are all files Ive played many times before with no problem. What happens is the video freezes while the audio continues. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and looking at processes shows that VLC is suddenly using loads of CPU.
All Ive done recently is install some Nokia software that came with a new phone and transferred some pics over. I tried restoring to before I did this, Ive got the latest version of VLC (0.8.6c) and reinstalled my codec pack (K-lite), done all sorts of virus and spyware searches etc, nothing seems to work.
Similar stuff also happens with other media players (WMP, Realplayer) so its not specific to VLC - hope its still ok to ask for help here!
I would really appreciate any help with this!
thanks
Tom

Re: Video freezes, audio continues
This could be video card driver trouble. Update your video card drivers, after that go to C:\Documents and Settings\User (you)\Application Data ("Show hidden files and folder")\vlc. Delete the "vlc" folder there. This will reset settings made for VLC Preferences.
