<listitem><para>on Windows it is more difficult to use the same method (but you can use it with a rxvt console, in the Cygwin environment). Then another solution is to start VLC with a command-line such as 'vlc -I skins2 -v --extraintf logger'. This should open both VLC and a log window containing the messages. What's more, the logs should be saved in a file named 'vlc-log.txt', in VLC installation directory. The relevant lines are those starting with "[00000178] skins2 interface" (the number may be different).</para></listitem>
