yeah damit.. that's not working. The part about draggin a file there too isn't working also! I like just draggin files to the player as it still isn't my default. WMP11 is but for now (still using beta Vista) it's the best on my laptop.

It's a known bug since test 1, on Windows hotkeys are not working in full screen mode

. I read it has something to do with the new version of the xWidgets interface.

nope sorry.
it seems most codecs are to blame...

VLC works fine in Vista. Goto the preferences, make sure the Advanced Options is ticked. Go Video > Output Modules and change it to "Windows GDI"

good player, but gui and functionality suck big time.
