There's surely something wrong, but I don't have enough information to help 
you there.

Could you send us a log file? To get a log file you need to open a dos 
command box, go to the directory where VLC is installed and run "vlc 
--intf=logger path_and_name_of_your_video_file". Using the logger 
interface, you won't have any GUI showing up but you should be able to see 
the video window. All you'll need to do after that is to send us the 
vlc.log file that has been created.

There's something else you can try. Could you go into the preferences menu 
of the GUI and play with the config options of the directx module.
