The VideoLAN Forums

I really want to use VLC player for my default video player, but the constant freezing of the system - where i can't even bring up the task manager - is driving me nuts !

I've installed and uninstalled the program numerous times, including deleting the cache and using a previous version as well. I would really like to support the player, but this issue might mean the end.

Thanks and desperate/open for solutions.

VLC can't crash your system. Bad drivers and broken hardware can.
