Re: WMP 11 Hoarding Screen

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry




How does it cover the whole screen? Or does it not cover the full screen but instead just is stuck in foreground mode?

Do you have "Always on top" specified in WMP's Tools:Options menu?

I have a plug-in to play flac audio files. But WMP 11 hoards the screens when
it plays any audio files. It doesn't matter which screen I am at inside
WMP11. It simply hoards the screen and no other program can take it over. I
have to minimise it first before I can bring other programs on.

Aero is enabled.

I don't have this problem when I was in Home Premium. I have upgraded to
Ultimate.

What are you doing in the player when it won't minimize?
Is it in a skin, full-screen mode, or anything else interesting... ?
