Hey Mike, your response took me to the mode options, thanks. But, the options are "grayed over" and I can't change anything. Do you have any ideas that might help? It says "These overlay settings are only available in dual-controller Clone mode, and not single display or extended desktop configurations".

Windows Media Player Plays All Video In Full Screen

abartar
I have a problem with my windows media player.

It plays all videos in full screen mode. The media player does not show any menu bars etc when it starts playing video. hence I cannot reduce the size. I have tried pressing Alt + enter looking through options like video size, zoom etc, but to no luck. Even try uninstalling and reloading different version but in all case the problem persists.

I have used ver. 9, 10 11 (beta). All versions are giving problems.

Any help is appreciated.

Ctrl-M (Hold on Contrl while pressing m) hides/show the menu bar.

I could of sworn that Windows Media Player already ahd this from original versions.

Meh, they do this anyway, to make people check the Microsoft website for the new release with new features, then buy the things they'll find on the site!

What a con!!

Windows Media Player Plays All Video In Full Screen

I have a possible solution for abartar. I had the same problem. I had to go into: Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced. I have a tab in there called "GEForce 6800" for nView dual monitor settings. Under a setting for "Full Screen Video," I clicked to disable full screen device, and it fixed the problem...Finally.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Windows Media Player Plays All Video In Full Screen

Replying to Feedbacker I have a Nividia Quadro FX 540 that all of sudden was doing the same thing. I tried navigating several ways to the place you mentioned, but, could not get there except by the exact route you mention. I changed the settings and everything is fine now.



I was going freaking going nuts with this problem. I was trying to edit video on one monitor while watching a training vid on the other and couldn't stop the other monitor from launching into full-screen whether I used Nero or Windows Media Player.



Cannot thank you enough for having this tip posted and yahoo finding it on my problem search

  21. Dr. DivX
    DivX Video Encoder (0)
    QUOTE Review of Dr. DivX 1.0.6 All of us know that how big the DVD files can be and to store
    them, we require a huge capacity Hard disk. So the best way is to convert such files to avi format
    to have no video quality loss but getting lower file size. There are many tools for converting
    video files to lower sizes. This tool in particular can convert following files to avi format in a
    very simple way and at a fast speed :- avi, vob, ts, mpg, dat, mov and avs. While the output will
    be in only avi. Dr. divx bundle is a small exe file of only 9 MB, the installation ....
  22. DivX
    Very good movie player, maybe best (9)
    Divx player plays almost all types of movie files including .avi. It plays them much better than a
    normal player like winamp, or windows media player. The sound is also significantly better. You can
    burn DVDs and I think you can use it to make DVDs with "code" but I don't use that part so
    I'm not sure. In my opinion it's the best vidio player out there right now. Here is where
    it's at. http://www.divx.com/divx/ ....
