== VLC 1.0.0 does not work on Vista or 7  ==

This is a know limitation. Please use VLC 1.1.11 or more recent 


== VLC 0.9.0/1.0.0/1.1.0 doesn't work on Win9x  ==

This is by design. You need at least Windows 2000 to run latest VLC 1.1.x. 

For earlier Windows release, use VLC 0.8.6i or check out [http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=64425 this forum post] for tips running latest VLC under Windows 98 or Windows Me. 


== VLC 2.0.0 doesn't work on Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP1  ==

This is by design. You need at least Windows XP SP2 to run latest VLC 2.0.x. 

Please upgrade your Windows or use VLC 1.1.11.
