Vista - Why does WMP not show video in Full Mode?

11-20-2007

Several people have posted similar problems in the past few weeks and still
no definitive response from MS.

I have Vista Home Premium which came with Media Player version
11.0.6000.6344.

Sometime in the past week or so (presumably after one of these interminable
oh-so-helpful updates) it stopped showing the picture in Full Mode. Now all
you get is the audio. In skin mode/preview mode you can still see the
picture. Why is this happening and how do you fix it please? Does anyone
know?

What video card do you have?
This seems like there was some recent bogus driver update...
