Full screen video in Windows Media Player 10 acting doofy

Post by Hamel »

You know those two bars at the top and bottom of the screen for file info/progress/volume? Well, those things are supposed to go bye-bye when you let the mouse idle BUT THEY WON'T FUCKING DO IT :evil: :evil: :evil: No matter what skin I use the same shit happens.

Last week there wasn't a problem, but nooooo, this week it had to bite me in the ass.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I guess the bars should disappear when you stop moving the mouse, and will re-appear again at the instant you moving it again. Are you sure it's not a mouse-related problem or such?

Make sure you haven't accidentally clicked the thumbtack on the top left corner of the screen either.

It was the thumbtack causing the problem, evidently. The bastard was in the upper right corner instead of the left, though. :arrow:
