    Problem Resolved!! Thanks for the help. Corkyg, I am also using window7 and the same version of vlc 2.2.4. That startet me thinking that it might have been something I did. It was as simple as resetting the preferences in VLC player.:):)

    Playing videos in sequence-Something happened (Solved)

    Thanks! But I was looking to a possible solution which can bring back tha same functionality. Instead of selecting all the videos in a playlist, just click on the folder and click play with vlc. Is it not an option now?

    Playing videos in sequence-Something happened (Solved)

    Earlier when I used to right click on a folder full of videos and select 'play with vlc media player', it would start playing videos starting with the first (based on naming or numbering). In between something happened and now it no longer does so. I suspect either vlc or winwdows update has...

    Where are the laptops? Why is Apple the only company with a brain?

    Apple could make a killing if they start making laptops which run on windows 7 (not the crippled bootcamp or vmware type running) and make them hdd/ssd/ram upgradable. At least I will be first in line. What holds me back from buying a macbook is the mac os.

    Need to vent against Sony

    It was not new but needed tp share my second experience which was very much like the first one (failure part) except this time the adapter was under warranty, but this does not take away from the fact that the adapter quality is rubbish.

    Weird problem with Toshiba laptop touchpad

    OMG! You are right on the money. I now realise that I was inadvertantly pressing that button. The touchpad would be working in safe mode probably becasue the drivers loaded might not be activating the button's function to disable the touchpad. I feel like kicking myself now. So much time used up...

    Is it possible to insert a welcome message in flash drive?

    KLin Oh no,nothing so dramatic, just a caption to cover a nice photographic album contained in a flash drive. A USB drive physically appears a drab enough object for a gift but the pictures are priceless so wanted to make it something special. I am not a programmer but I posted on programming...

    15" windows laptops with 1400/1440/1600 x 900/1000 resoultion

    Thanks for the inputs. The reason of going from 1920x1080 full HD laptop to lower resolution (1400x900 or 1600x900) is that I don't want to reduce the resolution from the native resolution so that the text remains crisp. In full HD often I need to increase the size of text in the web pages on my...

    15" windows laptops with 1400/1440/1600 x 900/1000 resoultion

    Thank you all. I think this HP probook is costly because of its build quality and since it is classed as 'business' laptop. What beats me is that why there are not many 1600x900 sized screens there in the market. This is the sweet spot for resolution in 15" category. And yes I understand that...

    15" windows laptops with 1400/1440/1600 x 900/1000 resoultion

    Thanks, but it is way beyond my budget. What puzzles me is that Full HD laptops with similar specs from Sony are cheaper than this laptop with 1600x900. Does it mean that 1600x900 screen is costlier than 1920x 1080. Not logical.

    15" windows laptops with 1400/1440/1600 x 900/1000 resoultion

    Hello Docs, I squeezed the Google dry but couldn't get information on any 15" laptops with 1400/900, 1440/900, 1440/1000, 1600x900, 1600x1000 resolution. Full HD resolution is too much for 15" as the letters become very small and 17" size is too heavy for me. Can some good soul point me to...

    Is 1920x1080, on 15" laptop ok?
