win media player 10 - fullscreen mode - doesnt hide play bar

[philv]

Hi...i have a problem with win media player 10

When i go into full screen mode and dont touch the keyboard or mouse for a while, i would expect the play bar, etc to become hidden (after a few seconds) as on my other pc.

Howether, it doesn't...so i never get a proper full screen...it always a has play bar/cursor/etc showing.

I can't for the life of me find the option to turn this hide facility on.

Any ideas where it is please? (win xp pro)

Thanks,
Phil.

Options>Performance Tab

Video Acceleration Settings section Advanced button.

One of the full screen checkboxes in there perhaps?

No idea - it does auto-hide on mine (XP Home) after a few seconds. Sure you're in fullscreen mode and not just maximised the window?

Phil,

Had to do this on Toms PC the other day as he had the same prob.....seem to recall its a little "pin" type icon up in the top RHS of the top part of the screen (that doesn't currently disappear(.

Click that and theres an option there - doing this from memory, sorry....
