vlc.exe won't stop
Hello! I have VLC media player 1.1.0 on Windows XP and when I close the program it's process remains active. I have to manually stop it in the task manager. But what's the worst is that I can't open any more video files until I close the process first. Please help.

Re: vlc.exe won't stop
Bellzemos, we are many users having same problem on Windows XP and I'm confident it will be fixed in next release.
Until then, there are 2 workarounds avoiding to stop the process in task manager :
1) Quit Vlc using Ctrl+Q (instead of clicking on the usual red cross button in the upper right corner)
2) If you forgot to quit using Ctrl+Q (i often forget), then a mouse clic on the Vlc icon in system tray will close the process, avoiding to open the task manager etc...
(if you don't have a Vlc icon showing in system tray, then you could check that option in Preferences)
