Hey j-b,
Tried your suggestions - ie) Searched the forum and bought a correct OS (by stating VLC works with Vista - is that not considered a "correct" OS?
Also tried your one useful suggestion - #3, which worked beautifully, THANK YOU!
For anyone else looking for a little more detail..
Open VLC
on Setting tab, choose Preferences,
Expand the Video Preference, expand Output modules and click on DirectX
Make sure the Advanced box is ticked in the bottom right corner
Unclick the option "Use hardware YUV - RGB conversions"
Click back on Output modules and on the drop down box, choose DirectX video output.
Click on Save and you should be good to go. Worked great for me!
VLC rocks!

Netreg thanks for the detailed info, I knew there was a setting tweak in there somewhere.

I cannot get VLC Media Player to run in my Vista Ult x64 bit. I have tried to run it as compatible also I have tried the settings in the above posting.
Any ideas please?
