Media Player 11 - doesn't open window when running movie file
Hi
Got an annoying problem with Media Player 11 on Home Premium edition. If I open a movie file from its folder location (double click) I get sound but no window opens up. If I then go to the start menu and open Media Player I then get video playback as well. If I already have Media Player running on the screen when I open the file it's not an issue.... If I shut Media Player it also doesn't stop playing the movie - it just disappears so I have to go back to the start menu and open it again to shut down playback before closing the window. Any ideas what could be causing this? Adrian |

You should right-click the bottom of your screen, and disable it on the toolbars list. -- Rae2 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
