The latest version of VLC is 0.9.8a. This version closes a security hole, and upgrading from earlier versions is urged ASAP.
The "Check for Updates" mechanism built into the program did not work for me -- I kept getting "An error occurred while checking for updates" message. It was easy enough to visit the VideoLAN website, download the new version, and install that, though.

Same problem on my Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 box (latest patches).
VLC works fine, it looks like just the update mechanism that doesn't work.
Incidentally, the update mechanism works just fine on my Mac Pro box (Intel, OS X 10.5.6) running VLC 0.98a.
Looks like a Windows-specific issue.
Thanks for the report, Anon.
