VLC freezes along with PC Solved

Question

Hello. Two days ago, your team resolved an issue I had with LyriscPack1. I just noticed that when playing a video with VLC, it freezes as soon as the image appears. When I try to close it, everything freezes, including VLC and the PC.
Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone. I found the solution by browsing other sites, including PC Astuces.
Open VLC, go to Tools, Preferences, Video, Output and set it to WINDOWS GDI, then save.
I checked and everything is back to normal.
Thank you for your help.

I forgot to mention that I didn't find any malware or virus.

Hello Sugel. That's what I did twice by downloading VLC through the commentçàmarche website.

Good evening everyone. I uninstalled VLC and replaced it with Windows Media Player.

Good evening,

What method and software did you use to detect that there were no viruses or malware on your PC?

I have the version of VLC (2.0.8) on my old XP Pro, and it poses me no issues regarding the playback of video and audio files.

I’m actually going to update to version (2.1.0) and see if it causes me any problems.

My bad, the latest effective version of VLC is indeed 2.0.8, I've just checked and VLC tells me I have the latest version.

Hello. I use Malwarebytes anti-malware and Avast. I have Windows XP Home.

Good evening,

A bit late, but better late than never ;-)

I suggest you uninstall VLC, run Ccleaner, and follow the tutorial closely, especially the part concerning the registry.

If you're not sure about the Ccleaner manipulations in the registry, let me know and I will guide you step by step.

Then, download VLC >>>HERE<<<.

Don't pay attention to the version; in the CCM download bank, it states that it's version 2.1.0, but that's incorrect, it's still version 2.0.8.

Here's the proof:

I made a request for an update, and VLC says it's up to date with its version 2.0.8

Best regards ;-)

My apologies once again, the latest version of VLC is indeed 2.1.0 Rincewind. VLC does not upgrade directly from version 2.0.8 to version 2.1.0 Rincewind via the update request; you therefore need to download the latest version, follow the standard installation process, the previous version will uninstall itself and the new one will then be set up.

Sorry for the initial incorrect information.

Quick question,

Where did you download VLC from? Which site?

Hello to both of you. For stargate43, I don't remember which site I downloaded VLC from, but it wasn't from the sites to totally avoid (Softonic and onet1). I often go through commentçamarche to download.
I used Ccleaner that I have on my computer. Then I downloaded VCL. After trying it out, the movie is no longer blocked, but the image has vertical bars.

No problem, and I'm glad everything is working again.

Best regards and have a nice day ;-)
