1) in your externalplayer config set forceontop to false, you shouldn't need this.
2) if your starting XBMC fullscreen then try starting it with the "(Windowed)" shortcut and just setting the resolution to match your screen's
3) try it with the default PM3.HD skin
4) try a different externalplayer
(I know 3 & 4 aren't solutions but may help track down the problem)
if none of that makes any difference then a workaround may be to change your externalplayer config to have hidexbmc set to true and startuptime set to 1
[ps, apologies for being grumpy yesterday]

Tried some of your solutions last night:
- Tried forceontop set to false and it XBMC still crashed.
- Tried XBMC "windowed" and it crashed on startup. I have only gotten that to work on an earlier version of XBMC
- Tried it with PM3.HD skin and it crashed when the external player started
- Instead of using TMT3's path to the 10ft VMC interface, I changed the path in the advancedsettings.xml to the actual player. This time, XBMC did NOT crash, TMT3 loaded up behind XBMC, and that is where the process stopped. I had to get out of XBMC to see if TMT3 had actually started and it did. Of course nothing played because no ISO was mounted Virtual Clone Drive to actually be played.
At least I got this far. I had selected the VMC interface of TMT3 because all you need to do is hit the Return or Backspace button to revert back to your media center. With the actual player I will have to figure out how to close it remotely instead of breaking out a mouse. I havent even started looking into eventghost yet to set up remote control features, but I will soon once I get XBMC set up properly. Wont do me any good if I still cant mount the ISO to VCD.
Again thanks for the help and if you have any info/suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
