EventGhost

Ok, one more thing I did...

I found the option "Use fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen." and enabled it. This allowed Hulu to open on top of XBMC, but I still could not get XBMC to close. I tried several different ways of getting Hulu to focus on top of XBMC, including a couple tutorials ...
