When I try to go full screen in a video that I have on my computer, e.g. a avi file, my computer locks up and I cannot exit either a blank screen or my computer freezes and I cannot use any keyboard shortcuts.

A cause of this might be the fact that I have I have recently installed wine on my Ubuntu PC so I could play Starcraft again. The first time that I tried it I had too early of a version and it messed up my display settings.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this happening before?

Thank you for your time in trying to help me with this issue.

Never mind I figured it out but if people are still having problems I created a walk through here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824368).
