abartar 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 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.

Mafamba Team 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 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!!

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Windows Media Player Plays All Video In Full Screen 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 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 -reply by Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Didn Windows Media Player Plays All Video In Full Screen 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! Mike -reply by Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 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". I have NO IDEA what this means.-question by Nita Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 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. Darryl -reply by Author Name - e.G.
