Knightmare Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Whenever I'm watching a movie on my laptop, it seems like VLC kills my connection. If it's a movie that I have seen many times, I'll stop midway through the film and browse the web; however, I notice that my wireless internet is not working. This happens anytime that I run VLC. Not sure why or how to fix it. The programs that are working/affecting my internet/VLC at the time are as follows:- cFosSpeed- Windows 7 Manager (various tweaks)- Process Lasso (gaming mode for VLC)Anyone else having this issue? If so, a solution would be welcomed. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Why will VLC terminate internet connection? Out of understanding, if you are watching movie offline (I mean, not with VLC plugin on the web). Try blocking VLC.exe in firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I uninstalled Process Lasso and it seems to work fine now. Maybe it has something to do with the gaming mode setting. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe it has something to do with the gaming mode setting. :huh:Obviously it does. When you activate gaming mode, priority of all other processes is lowered giving the one running in gaming mode, maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm still able to classify that as a game/multimedia process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davhag Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Gom works best for me and if you download a good codec pack, you are good to go and it will play just about any video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Trying to avoid adding extra codecs too. I'm just too picky. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
