When I started configuring MP, the first time I got a movie to play in My Videos, when I clicked play it started in Full Screen. Instead of hitting B to exit, I hit ESC which took me back to the movie selection screen and put the movie into a small window.

Now every time I try to play a movie it automatically starts playing in that small preview window inside MP. I can make it full screen by clicking on it and then hit B to exit out when the movie is over, but the next movie I play starts in a small preview window again.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Have tried X to toggle to fullscreen display?

strange, for me it always starts full screen and I have to press the red button to toggle to preview window.

Have tried X to toggle to fullscreen display?

I will try this this evening. It would be great if its something that simple.

No luck with that

X does take me back and forth between full screen and preview mode though.

I start a movie and it begins to play in preview window. I hit X which takes me to the fullscreen and then I'll hit B to exit the movie. When I click another movie it starts up again in preview mode.

Is there a command line I can edit in the registry to start to player in full screen?

I guess I will try a clean MP install and see if that fixes the problem. If not I will switch to using an external movie player.

I am sure there must be a command line to force fullscreen start when playing movies.
