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.
Hope this helped.

That may help you!
Full Mode: Ctrl+1
Skin Mode: Ctrl+2
If Its not working, then u may be enabled hoide menubar option!
To disable thise try these keyboard shortcuts:
Ctrl+M : will show the menu bar
Ctrl+Shift+M : will enable the option to auto hide menubar!
If its not working fine, then do reply t this post!

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!!

that's right. Unfortunately, we did not solve the problem.
Media player does not respond to any combination of keys except ctrl+alt+delete.

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.

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

Replying to Feedbacker
Feedbacker's post got me looking in the right spot.
Control panal - display - settings - advanced
I there I have an "overlay" tab, then click on theater mode options and select "same on all"
That did the trick for me!
Thanks for getting me in the right place!

Thanks for your post. It has at least got me in the right place. I don't have that tab but I changed an "overlay" setting on my diplay and that has at least stopped media player from taking over my computer. Now, I seem to have diabled videoin my media player and only get sound.

I wish I had your problem. I'm trying to figure out how to force Mediaplayer 11 to open all video's in full screen mode. I'm tired of having to resize them. I never had this problem with Mediaplayer 10.

Typical of Windows. M/Soft think by changing something in their tired old software (Media player) makes it newer. If they are going to make a new OS why don't they do just that instead of just changing the look & efficiency of things. No menu bar in Now playing mode has not made it quicker or easier to navigate, it has just made things more difficult.
The same goes with the removal of the Quick launch bar in Windows 7, this new pinned program setup may look pretty but it has slowed the click & go process down quite a bit. Now instead of just point & click you now have to 1-point, 2-right click & then 3-click again.

Start MPC (not with a video file) > View > Options > Playback > Output > Direct3D Fullscreen > Uncheck itThis is the option what is causing it. Couldn't disable anything on my videocard so I dug a bit deeper.
You are the man !
Thanks a lot from Japan

Did the job for me, thx
I should have added that I was playing the video at the time i held down those keys
I know the keys switch between monitors at least the way I have it setup desktop external monitor since my laptop lcd screen went blank.
I use to have the problem when I rebooted the PC the desktop monitor went into power save mode very frustrating since the laptop LCD screen wasn't working either so I found out you have to wait until the operating system loads then the second monitor turns back on.
Another option is right around the time your PC reboots press function key (fn) and F8 at the same time and the 2nd monitor you have hooked up comes back on.
The reason I wanted to post this info is because someone else might be having these problems and if you don't have a working LCD laptop screen but you do have a desktop monitor hook it up because other then buying a new screen for your laptop seems to be a easy workaround to be able to reformat and reinstall your operating system if needed.
