vlc-player

I have installed vlc 1.1.9 on wubi installed Ubuntu 11.04 using Ubuntu Software Center. Now when i tried playing videos in vlc (any format)

full screen mode doesnt show controls and usually doesnt gets me out to
window mode. it sometimes crashes to login screen.

I tried the video output to 'X11 output mode' and 'XVideo output (XCB)' but the above problem persists and also bring another problem.

full screen mode doesnt responds always
when it does, it shows the video over the desktop instead of inside the player. the only way to get ubuntu to function normally is to restart the system.

I tried with not using the 'Embed video in interface' but still the same problem. vlc runs perfectly well in windows. How can i make vlc function properly on my system or i need to install another player?

My system config is:

Graphics: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+
RAM: 1.5GB
Motherboard Name: MS-7181 (MSI)
