Win 7, VLC Player V1.1.2 and above will not open folder

I am running:
GA-EP45-UD3P MB
Q9550 CPU
8GB DDR2 (800MHz)
Windows 7 Ult 64 bit

I have tried installing versions 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 on my system. Neither version will open a folder, it does nothing. I go back to version 1.1.1 and it works perfectly. Both version 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 will play individual files, but will not open a folder. I have tried complete uninstalls and re-installs without success. Again, version 1.1.1 works. Anything above this does not. Will someone please show me the error of my ways.

Best regards,

Chris

I am running Windows 7 64-bit and I have noticed the same issue when trying to open folders. Where can I get this 1.1.4 that you speak of?

Use 1.1.4
You replied similarly when I brought this issue to light in 1.1.2. You said, Use 1.1.3. So I did. That version didn't open folders in the Media Library either. I'm not hopeful for 1.1.4.

I went back to 1.0.5 and everything works great. Plus, 1.0.5 doesn't spend several minutes pointlessly building a font cache for an Xvid avi file. As I understand it, the font cache is built for certain mkv files, n'est-ce pas? So why would it spend time building a cache for files that don't use it? As Hercule Poirot might say...it's a mystery!

So from a layman's POV, use 1.0.5. It gets two thumbs up, baby!
