The optional pulgins available for download will only work with vlc-0.4.1. 
Sorry about that, we forgot to remove them from the download page. Anyway 
it shouldn't hurt, these plugins will just not work with vlc-0.4.2.

To know what's really going on we need you to provide us a log file. The 
easiest way to do so is to open a dos command box, to go into the vlc 
directory and run the following command:
vlc --intf=logger dvd:e
The logger interface will create a log file named vlc.log (the one you'll 
have to send us). Using this command line, the normal GUI interface won't 
show up so you'll need to stop vlc after a few seconds using Ctrl+C.

PS: Is VLC working when you try to play mpeg files directly from your hard 
drive ?
