I can't reproduce with current master. Please try a nightly and report back. I would not expect any fixes to 13.x anymore.

ahh, so the issue is not alt tab in terms of the button press but running XBMC in the background?

What happens when you disable the screensaver in XBMC ?

A Windows dev should look at this. There are related issues: if you have XBMC fullscreen on one monitor and click anything on the other, XBMC minimizes itself.

Hey guys, I've been having this issue for 6 - 8 months now. I've been dealing with it but it is really quite annoying. I've gone thru several iterations of attempts to get this fixed. Most recently I've disabled every skin and addon that isn't bolted to the OS. Disabled anti virus, every non essential task, disabled aero and all windows appearance "niceties". After that I had it run for about 24 hours without this incident occuring, where I could minimize and maximize and return to full screen, and alt-tab out and back in without any crash. Then it started happening again. Also just installed a fresh copy of Kodi Alpha 4. Same problem within 5 min. One thing I did notice was it seems to behave for a while after rebooting the system. Also, the actual "crash" doesn't happen until trying to restore the program.
I'm running windows 7 64
ATI Radeon 5450 with latest drivers and catalyst software
Using a NAS with SMB for my library
Hooked up to a single Panasonic TV using HDMI 1.4
I can do any other diagnostics you guys would like to get you the information you need to get this problem fixed.

It was happening at least as far back as Frodo...

ive been doing a little research into this problem on my machine. i now believe that the problem only happens if my machine had been suspended and then resumed. I've run several instances over 24+ hours now with suspending disabled and have minimized, alt-tabbed and stress tested to my hearts content and haven't been able to break it. However when i suspend either from inside xbmc or from the start menu, it crashes as soon as it is minimized. I'm hoping this may be recreated.
my specs are:
Radeon 5450
Intel G33 Chipset
Core2 Quad q6600
3GB mem
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
HDMI 1.4 to Panasonic TV
