How do I prevent videos from automatically playing in full-screen mode?
Normally, Windows Media Player only plays videos in full-screen mode when you click the View full screen button or press ALT+ENTER. However, in some cases, videos might play in full-screen mode automatically. Frequently, this issue occurs if you are using multiple monitors and your video card (also known as a display adapter, video adapter, graphics adapter, or graphics board) is configured to use clone mode (a multi-monitor mode that displays the same image on two or more monitors). You might be able to resolve the full-screen problem by turning off clone mode for one or more of your monitors. In some cases, this issue can also occur if your video card is configured to use zoom mode (a mode that allows you to magnify a portion of your screen).
