Windows Media Player Classic faulty fullscreen

[chickeneater]

when I load my avi file into wmp classic, and the alt+tab and any fullscreen mode doesn't work. What I get is a the size of the pixels in a box surrounded by black... Like a small picture in a huge frame. Can I fix this? Is there an option that lets me change this setting?

[SKD_Tech]

I don't know what would make it do that but mine won't even let me use the fullscreen option

[chickeneater]

it works fine on my p3 450mhz computer (1999) but doesn't work on my p4 2.26Ghz computer (aug 2002),.,.,.,.,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.

Must have cost you a fortune. . .

totally, and apparently he heeded my suggestion to get the wd caviar(i'm not sure if it is caviar) 8mb cache, 7200rpm, ata133 instead of scsi which is more expensive and not worth 600GB. I know that 181.6gb is $1,392!!!

That's all? pfft, my machine kicks the pants off it.

I can encode an entire divx movie, double pass, in 5 minutes. My awesome specs are as follows:


386x
16mb ram
500mb HD
14400 baud modem
Windows 3.1
10" display


phear my freeski!

edit >> btw, what kinda server is it? And what OS are you running?

[SKD_Tech]

I have no comment

Server - One I created
OS - Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro

[t3ch]

Well it's good you built custom (most people don't realize computers are just electrical lego sets)

What do you use it for, though?

edit >> Thought about giving linux a shot?

[SKD_Tech]

I am thinking about Linux on my 3rd partition.... What DVD ripping software work with it??

About the lego's - Basicly I mean it took me a day to put her all together and have my OS's installed

[t3ch]

Dual booting windows? Hrmmm....

I haven't actually done any ripping on Linux yet; however it wouldn't surprise me if the newest redhat had ripping software somewhere in the massive software library. If not I'm sure you can find something decent; I mean, after all, it IS linux software!

Basicly I mean it took me a day to put her all together and have my OS's installed

Good god, the first time I put mine together, I had to reformat like 5 times in a row. Took me 10 minutes to put it together.... 5 hours of reformatting/installing. Yayyyy for windows messing up!

[chickeneater]

The only good thing that I can think of for linux, besides the years of learning it, is that you can change the pruority level of a certain process up to 32 levels, whereas windows only has 4. And they barely do anything for me. I would really use that feature on your 3.06Ghz because you could get a big boost from that while encoding.

SKD_Tech, What type of memory do you have and how much?
