Up to now that has always restored VLC to a working condition for me.
So Justme2 your suggestion was really helpful as it allowed me to know where to go and I'm golden now, VLC is up and running on this Toshiba! ;D
I tried exactly what you did, which didn't work - however I then consulted my IT friend (Prof. Google) and found this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/942386/v...le_rich_qa
So essentially I went into VLC, chose Tools>Preferences>THEN VIDEO SETTINGS>then removed the tick for accelerated video output (I made this correction as previously I had written "remove the tick for disable accelerated video output") AND also changed Output to "OpenGL GLX video output (XCB)" and it works. (Initially I chose GNU/Linux frame buffer video output just because it had the word Linux in it, but this didn't work so per the link I started with the first OpenGL on the list and it worked).
So, now I feel comfortable to update and try it on the other Toshiba. Thanks again this list is GREAT.
