When I watch something on my right screen and try to launch any game vlc crashes everytime.(see pic) That didn't happend with 1.1.11

Happens when I launch every fullscreen games with 2 screens. Kinda annoying -.-

I have VLC 2.0.3 with defualt config

CPU: Intel I7 920
RAM: 6GB
Graphic: Nvidia GTX 295

I have pushed the send crash report or something to dev team all the times, but nothing have happend since first time I got it. that was 2.0.0

So any fix or status on this problem.

other option is use windowed mode :(

Sounds like a problem with buggy video drivers.

Nope, latest drivers installed and still have the problems. Have the problem with olders drivers aswell. Kinda tested that.

Only VLC have the issue thought. Since TwoFlower that is.

Possibly bug in the DirectX stack then, since the game and VLC are both trying to use hardware-accelerated drawing. And it's more likely since someone said that OpenGL vout works.
