Do you think you could make the image a bit bigger, I can't quite make it out!

Have you tried reinstalling WMP10? Or playing the files in another player?

sorry - lol. guess it can be blamed on the dell 24" monitor.

It works fine in powerdvd but its just weird how some video files play and most dont. Will try reinstalling it.

Have tried uninstalling and installing again but still no luck. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Fixed

Or would be fixed if it weren't acting up.

Odd - shows up in IE, but not in FF.

Hmmm . . .

<Alr+Pr Scr> is your friend - this takes a screen print of the active window only.

Whats this mean?

It means that you can post a thumbnail or a link to the screen-bustingly giant image you posted in your initial link.

<Alt+Pr Scr> means press the Alt key (ok - I admit, I spelled it wrong) in conjuction with the print screen key, and you take a print of only the active window / application, so you don't ahve to post an image of your entire desktop.
