[QUOTE="Andre, post: 766179, member: 55311"] Hey! This is a super old thread man :) You should have given up a long time ago, but anyway... To follow the instructions I had originally, you have to boot into "single-user mode", NOT "safe-mode". To boot into single user mode (which gives you a command prompt where you can type in the stuff I was describing above), simply hold down command+s while your computer is booting. The application name is vlc.app, so to delete the vlc program, go to the Applications folder with: cd Applications then delete vlc with rm vlc.app It should prompt you to make sure you want to delete it. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
