I'm not terribly good with computers. That's the message I get when I try to open VLC or redownload it after removing it from my computer. If someone could walk me through how to fix this, whether there's some codec needed I don't know about or something, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

You need to shut down all running VLC instances and any other applications using LibVLC. On Windows, you can the task manager for that.
