To install the new MP 02.3.0. RC3 release I completely uninstalled version 02.3.0 RC2.
I installed 0.2.30. RC3 and configured it to run full screen on my second monitor as I did with the previous version.
Now when I run MP everything is working perfectly, except that as soon as I turn TV on the screen of the first monitor turns black for a short moment and the Window Switcher feature of Windows Vista is disabled. MP keeps running fine until I click with the mouse in the screen of my first monitor. The screen of the second monitor then turns completely black and on the first monitor appears a message that MediaPortal caused a problem and has to be closed. As soon as MP has been closed the Window Switcher feature is enabled again.
I never had this problem with the version 02.3.0 RC2 or earlier. So I think I'm doing something wrong in the configuration of MP.

Update:
I completely uninstalled MP 02.3.0 RC3 and reinstalled version 02.3.0 RC2. The problem I described stays the same, so I don't think it's MP that causes it. Anybody got a clue on what is going wrong?
So, the problem is:
1. MP in full screen mode on screen 2 with TV on causes disabling Windows switcher feature on screen 1
2. Activating screen 1 (through mouseclick on that screen) while watching TV in MP (full screen mode) on screen 2 causes MP to completely go black. Then either on screen 1 appears a message that MediaPortal caused a problem and has to be closed or MP keeps running (with black screen) with only audio on.
This problems don't occur with MP in windowed mode.
