Netbook has Windows 7 Starter. Got VLC Media Player last month from
someone here. Worked great, but have to load each playback file
individually. Stops playing at end of each file, then bring up next one
to continue watching.

I've played with it trying to get it automatically to go to the next
file, but am not finding a solution.

Thanks for any help.

You are correct, this is OT. Would help if you told us what type of media you are working with.

Not knowing that here are a few things you can try.

1. Click media, open folder:select a folder. - all files in that folder will bea added to a play list.

2. If it'S a dvd you can double click the .ifo file

3. CTRL-L bring up playist, then add files

or right click on the file(s) in question and select 'add to VLC playlist'

Not knocking VLC (I love it,but it does have some warts), but for WMV
(and other vidfiles), I've found GOM player to work better.

GOM's an unusual piece. It's a freebie Korean "Universal Video Player"
written for some Korean ISP, but it works in English as well. It seems
to have more damned video codecs built-in than anything else, and a
better "select to play" system.

No nags...

Worst case, uninstall it and do VLC instead
