Since a few weeks vlc has been crashing regularly after a while, usually at higher speeds, or when manually forwarding. It never did this in the past. I uninstalled and re-installed vlc, but there is no improvement.

Should I install an older version? Is this a common problem?

It is not that common. PLease try VLC 2.0.0-rc1, it should work better at higher speeds.

I checked, and you are correct, I am using vlc-1.1.11-win32.
I will update and find out--- Thank you



I have installed it, it does work, how well I cannot tell yet. But the vlc icon is gone.... there is an old word-icon in its place?
(Using 7 Ultimate)


When installing I get a pop up saying:

16 bit MS:DOS Subsystem
"Th NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction CS:0000 IP:081b OP:.... (and then there follow several names like "ff ff ff 09 ff" every time I click teh ignore button) Choose "Close" to terminate the application."



And now it has actually stopped working....


I uninstalled completely, installed 1.1.11 again, it works again, but the icon does not appear in the shortcut on the desktop, yet it does work.

Try to uninstall, restart Windows and then install new version.

Thank you, I will try that.
Tried it.... no difference. No icon.

That is Windows icon cache issue.

Thanks... its back!

The bad news is, that now I am back were I started, with a vlc player that crashes all the time.

Well... what the heck...

Delete %appdata%/vlc folder

Delete %appdata%/vlc folder

Sorry for the delay-----

How exactly do I do that, where do I find it? That is the folder in the PcUser\AppData Folder? Completely delete the whole thing?

You type %appdata%\vlc to Windows Explorer or to start -> run. It will lead you to right place.

Thank You.

It found it in the roaming folder, and so, whenever vlc starts to crash again too often, I delete this whole folder?

Yep But it should not happen.
