Re: WMP 11 DVD identification

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I started reading your link and found exactly what I was looking for near the
top where you wrote "A handful of fixes for it are available here." The
"here" link took me to Windows WMP Solution Center, which I suppose has the
answers. I say "I suppose" cause when I slipped in a DVD to try ALT+CTL+DEL
to get out of the full-screen mode, oddly enough, just pressing ESC got me
out.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I played and ripped from a
regular music CD before trying this. Odd things like that are not all that
unusual with all things Microsoft.

Thanks again!

I recently bought a new computer with Vista. Prior to this, with XP, when
I
inserted a home-made DVD, WMP11 always opened with the mostly blank
sidebar
on the right which had a line like "unknown DVD." Right-clicking on that
brought up the "Metaservices" box which allowed me to type the movie's
name
and imprint an ID onto the DVD.

Now, WMP 11 opens full-screen and I don't get to identify the movie by
title. How do I get the sidebar back on when the the DVD first loads?
