    hey guys,
    i have a really annoying problem with WMP 10
    whenever i try to play a video in fullscreen the fullscreen mode just either, crashes instantly with a black screen followed by a return to normal windows media player with a small video window, or shows a still image of the video in the same size as it was before for about 5-10 seconds before returning again to the normal media player
    i have searched with google to try and find a solution but there doesnt seem to be very much info about WMP
    i also tried uninstalling and reinstalling but with no luck
    hope theres someone out there with a fix!!

    Cheers
    Charlie

    I've never heard of your problem happening, may I suggest an alternate media player. Try WinAmp, it has all the features if not more then WMP.

    I think sites are coded to use WMP, but from what I can see, you can still run it in normal mode, just not full screen right?

    You could always try formatting, that will most likely fix WMP.
