I just reinstalled VLC to the latest upgrade and when I went to double click the icon on the desktop, it did not open a vlc player as it had in the past. The only way I can open a video file is to find the actual file and double click it or drag the file to the VLC shortcut icon on my desktop. Furthermore, when the video does open, there is no interface (no menu option, no play, pause buttons, etc.). Just the file plays. I cant right click on it to get any options or settings or anything like that either. When the files finishes playing, the window just disappears. Can any help me with this? How do I get my play, pause buttons back along with my "file", "view" etc drop down menus???
Please advise. Thank you.
Btw, I have Windows XP, if that matters. It's an old computer.
