The VideoLAN Forums

I used to open files clicking on them. Next thing the Vlcplayer popped into vision and played the movie. For some reason videofiles don't open anymore now unless I select them using the player. I tried to reinstall but the problem remains the same?
When I click a movie now the sandrunner appears but disappears after a few seconds.

What to do?

Which VLC version are you using? And does removing %appdata%\vlc folder help?

I'm using the latest version; VLC Media Player 0.9.8a
But today the function is working again as if by magic???? Didn't do any expirimenting or nothing??

So what should I do next time this happens you say? Remove C/Documents&settings/ Application Data/vlc who where??

Yep, remove the folder %appdata%\vlc. Or browse to that folder and remove all files from there.

Won't I completely f#up the installation of the player then??

No. Only VLC settings are stored there. Not binary files nor registry settings.
