when comp goes to sleep vlc crashes pc

[elliott]

hey i did not always have this issue, but after a hour+ i like my pc to go to sleep mode i'm out of work and low on money so want the bills low.

anyway, everything works fine until i try to play anything in vlc. i can only hear what is playing and the computer freezes. this is a new issue and i'm not sure why it started now, but does anyone have an idea or anything i can try to fix it? it kind of makes the sleep mode pointless if i need to shutdown when waking it every time..

thanks
