 If VLC is forced to stay on top, and one watches a movie in full screen mode without deselecting this option - after the movie ends and returns to the normal window size - VLC is crashed.

Steps for repeating this issue:
1) Open VLC (I spare me the install part *lol*)
2) Set it to stay on top
3) Sart a movie and switch to full screen
4) Move to the end of the movie and wait until the movie ends.

Result: VLC is crashed

My system:
OS: Windows 7 RTM
VLC: 1.0.1 and 1.0.2
AWM: 5.5 b1

 Unfortunately, we fail to reproduce the situation on our test machine.

Do you have any non-standard Plugins or extensions for the player? Could you try to turn off it and reproduce the situation?

 Nope, it is a plain new Windows 7 RTM (not the Release Candidate) installation and VLC has no plugins either.

And if I switch of AWM everything is fine.
Also when the "Stay on Top" option is deactivated.
Only in the case it's active it fails 100%.

Regards
Dennis


PS: I tried to reprudce this with Windows XP - No problem at all. SO it either has to do with Win 7 or my computer.
I will set up a second computer with Win 7 in the next week, than I wil try it with a virgin version of Win 7 + VLC + AWM - nothing else installed.

 Oh, Dennis, thank you!

We were able to reproduce the situation on Win 7 RTM with the activated Aero Theme.

We'll try to fix it.

 Dennis, could you please create a new exclusion with the following settings:

[x] Window class : VLC DirectX
[ ] Window caption:
[x] Program : \vlc.exe


After we've added this one, VLC stopped to crash/hang-up. Perhaps the exclusion will work for you too.
Please post here, if this solution helps or not.
