Answer 1

Probably due to a corrupt file. Try completely uninstalling it using Revo Uninstaller and then reinstall:

By the way, 1.1.9.0 is not the latest version of VLC. 2 versions have come out after that:

Meanwhile, you might like the KMPlayer better than VLC:

Answer 2

Yes, I'd uninstall it and then install the latest version (1.1.11 for Windows) or use another player as it has an unpatched security vulnerability, see http://secunia.com/advisories/product/25892/?task=statistics_2011



Same seems to apply to KMPlayer, see http://secunia.com/advisories/product/33525/?task=advisories_2011



You might want to try Media Player Classic - Home Cinema. Not so widely acclaimed as KMPlayer or VLC but it plays most things, has no unpatched vulnerabilities and isn't ad-supported (as KM is)
