If you still have  vlc3  on your machine, does it start with one of these commands:

--- Code: ---nvlc
--- End code ---
or:

--- Code: ---cvlc
--- End code ---
Or does it still produce an error message containing  qt  and/or  Illegal instruction ?

  hey Rich

I had it unistalled , but after your reccommendation I installed VLC3 again , and now its working .

No instructions alert anymore .  I dont know if there's something to do with the other dependencies which avoided mplayer to install as well . What I know is after installed those , now I could install and run VLC3 . I don't have a gui , only see "running VLC with the default interface " but no proper gui started when I click on the VLC icon . I used the command line and could play video . Would be more interesting to have a gui .

thanks for your help and guidance !!!!!

Hi grenchyoll
Thank you for testing that.
The  cvlc  command launches  vlc3  in command line mode.
The  nvlc  command launches  vlc3  using an  ncurses  interface. Think DOS graphics if you go back that far.
The GUI is provided by  qt5  which the above 2 commands avoid. I think this confirms the  Illegal instruction  is coming from  qt5.

@grenchyoll: Thanks for your feed-back.
I am glad that you can run firefox and libreoffice on your PC. mplayer is also very good choise for your resources.
FYI: in TC12 all software work OK for me. Even I run OK some which exist only in old TC{4..11}.
So MAYBE some tcz are not compiled for your CPU capabilities. Or maybe you mixed old tcz (from tc9/10/11) with new tcz (from tc12) as I frecvently did in the past when a tcz was missing. Or maybe you mixed tcz from tc12_32 with tcz from Tc12_64, etc.

PS: if you can run libreoffice with 1GB RAM, then abiword (is like WinWord in WinXP), or gnumeric (is like Excel in WinXP) could be better for RAM resources. [But no equivalents for Powerpoint in WinXP, if you need it as a home user].
If you have troubles with gnumeric.tcz in TC12, please open a new specific post about it, and provide details, to ask for help in the forum (maybe first search about keyword gnumeric in this forum).
