I have also tried this with Win7 for a media center and have had the same problem - not only does it not switch out of full screen media center the cube plug in appears to turn off if if wmc is run full screen - have I missed something?

Vista Media Center Problem Swapping Desktops

Dexpot is a great utility and one I would like to get working properly with Windows Media Center running under Vista. The problem i'm having is while running Media Center full screen and then using the mouse to switch to a new desktop by moving to the left or right of the screen.

The screen switches OK to the next desktop apart from flashing a couple of times and then Media center appearing on the new desktop. If I then use the "restore down" to get media center in a window I can see the correct desktop but now I have Media Center on it as well.

The problem doesn't happen if Media Center is running in a window before switching desktops, it only happens when it's running full screen..

A solution would be welcomed as switching screens from Media Center to some other category of applications such as travel etc works really well on our main TV..
