Hi,
When I double click a file to open it in Media Player 10 (I have windows XP Professional), Media Player opens but it only plays the sound, it doesn't show the video (just gives me the black box where the video should be playing). In order to play a file I have to manually start Media Player first, and then when I double click the file all is OK.
I have checked for updates (Media Player says I am up to date), I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem remains.
I have also tried changing the window size and moving another window over the player while the clip is playing - still the same.
This has only been happening for the past few months, before this everything was fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
