Exit Button

Clicking this button will cause Versi Player to save all options to vplayer.ini and exit.


VPLAYER.INI

The first time you run Versi Player it creates ( vplayer.ini ) which is used to save options. If your receiving error's while trying to start Versi Player locate ( vplayer.ini ) in your windows directory and delete it. Versi Player will create a new file when it start's again.

Warning

Try not to use the on top button. Using it will cause the open dialog box to be covered and if your viewing FLI, FLC files, the window the file is playing in will be covered by Versi Player's main window. If you happen to use the on top button and try to open a file, the  open dialog box will sometime's be covered completely. If this happens keep hitting the TAB key and your ENTER key until your able to close the open dialog box and gain control of Versi Player. I will be fixing this problem soon, hopefully.
