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?

What video card do you have? Is a driver update available.... ?

This will happen when the media player toolbar is enabled. You should
right-click the bottom of your screen, and disable it on the toolbars
list.
