dll error, VLC wont run

[timtheenchanteruk]

Today I had a problem, VLC popped up a dll error, and wont run, so I tried to update to the newest version, same error occured. nothing on my system has changed since I last used VLC, ie nothing installed, so cant see any obvious issues.

Does removing %appdata%\vlc help?

where would i find this? Ive tried the obvious places, vlc folders, and done a search, but not found it yet.

thanks

drive:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\vlc\

"Application Data" has "hidden" attribute may be?

thanks, had a look, and its not there, looked in the "hidden" files, and thru all the users, app data and there isnt one for vlc an any of them.

So if you type %appdata%\vlc to your Windows Explorer, where does it go?

ahhh, found it.
however I have solved the problem, my better half had installed flyteosx in a bid to get a mac like desktop, although this was only installed for herself, caused a problem for all users.
