Why does the Player stop playing in full-screen mode?
Make sure your screen saver isn’t kicking you out of full-screen mode. Also, turning of the Enable full-screen mode switch feature might solve the problem. In Windows Media Player 9 Series or later, do the following: • On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Performance tab. • Click Advanced. • Clear the Enable full-screen mode switch check box. Note that for Windows XP, full-screen controls disappear if you stop moving the mouse and the cursor is not hovering over the controls. If you want the controls to disappear more quickly, you can clear the Display full-screen controls check box (also located on the Advanced dialog box). Or you can use the TweakMP Powertoy for Windows XP from the wmplugins.com page to adjust full-screen settings.
