The VideoLAN Forums

Please help... I finally upgraded my VideoLAN and now all video is a bunch of colored vertical lines. The audio is great. I'm sure this is a simple matter, but apparently my simple mind is just not connecting. Any help would be appreciated. The reason I finally upgraded today was my skinned VLN was freezing my whole computer after about 45 seconds. (I just upgraded from 1.8 to 2.1) Here is a snap of what I am seeing on any video I try. Previous to today, I had no problems seeing the video, and only recently began having freezing difficulties.


Thanks in advance for any help you can give this old lady

Try to set different video output module:
Tools > Preferences > ( Show settings = Simple ) > Video > Output

I tried each one, saved and restarted but that did not change the video. Thanks for trying

Then try to reset preferences by deleting "%appdata%\vlc" folder. Often suggested solution here usually helps.
