Network card drivers can't be affected by installing VLC...
I have the same exact problem, and when I try to restart (the network won't start until I do that...), if the network failed, the service will hold up the computer on the Shut Down screen for ever. From what I've read in my search for the answer, some of the most common answers was: update wireless card drivers, update motherboard chipset drivers, turn off the ability for Windows 7 to turn off your adapter to save power (Right Click on Computer/My Computer on the start button, and click Properties...On top left, click "Device Manager", find your network adapter in Network adapters, right click it and click Properties, then go to the Power Management tab and uncheck the top box if it is checked, then hit ok/apply or whatever), poorly written drivers by lazy companies, problem with your USB's, among other answers.
