I just updated to vlc VideoLAN and it installs correctly. However when I try to run it I get the following error:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item"
This is bizarre since I'm the PC admin, & I have full rights and permissions. I ran the tweaking.com Windows Repair (All in One) v2.2.0
and checked every option to do with permissions, files, etc. Every other program that I have installed or updated since this
issue works fine except for this one. People at VideoLAN are not much help with this situation.
I'm running Windows XP SP3 with all the latest patches. Using Avast AV 2014, Private firewall v7 with all updates. Secunia is green
showing all programs are fully patched. I even uninstalled, ran CCleaner rebooted, turned off Avast and firewall, reinstalled vlc player
with the same results. I'm really baffled by this.
Any help much appreciated.
