That's odd. I've been using the latest version from the VLC web site and all the menus and such are there. I've made no changes to the interface. I believe this latest version came out close to the end of July.

I still use version 0.7 and block all requests to update because the newer versions use a skin that is not accessible. I have not taken the time to determine if there is an accessible skin yet. If you need that old version, I have placed it in my DropBox at: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9714680/DVD%20Player%20-%20Video%20LANClient%20vlc-0 .7.1-win32.exe Don Marang There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.
