My W10 PC was running version 2.2.6! so I upgraded it to 3.0.12 32-bit and it still runs as expected.

If I right-click a VLC window, I get this.

I don't think I've ever used 64 bit VLC. I'll try it.

I've loaded 64-bit VLC on my W7 PC and it runs fine.

I've done a restart and nothing appears to have changed.

I get this with a right click.

All very odd.

Thanks for your help Brian but it looks as if something's not quite right with my VLC setup.

It does that after Reset Preferences? Very strange.

I think I've found it.

Open a separate VLC

Click VIEW, PLAYLIST and you should get the black screen with traffic cone

Close VLC and try whpcviewer

I've never seen that configuration before and it seems to be immune to Reset Preferences. I'll make a note on the Wiki.
