The VideoLAN Forums

I downloaded vlc a few months ago and vlc was working fine...then i decided to update vlc

vlc now stops responding after every movie that i play and when i try to change movies
(by movies i mean .avi files, not dvds)

I'm having exactly the same problems as Leinad above. And every time I click to open VLC, before it even opens, I get a message saying that VLC has crashed and do I want to notify the developer. Drats. Where do I get the older version?

Delete %appdata%/vlc folder

Where do I get the older version?

Before hearing your advice I found and installed Version 1.0.5. It works fine. And before I reinstall the newest version I'll wait until it works without me having to delete folders to get it to run properly.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Delete %appdata%/vlc folder

i can't seem to find that

can you tell me where to look?

Hi Leinad, I don't understand all this tar bz stuff so I downloaded vlc 1.0.5 as a torrent

Sometimes I think the replies here are too rude for a damn good, free software.
