Vista Tutorial - Vista Media Player in full screen

When I open any video file with Vista media player they run fine as long as
they are in a small window. If I maximize the window in full screen or even
if I rey to make tyhe window significantly larger, the video starts freezing
and showing a frame-by-frame view and only the sound goes on normally. This
never happened on XP.

Since sound is fine the problem is probably with the graphics card and its
drivers.
Answers to the following questions will help to isolate the cause.

What make/model of graphics card do you have?
What resolution are you using over what interface to what type of display?
What graphics card driver release are you using?
Have you read the release notes for the driver release you are using?

I have the same problem but with Geforce Go 6600. I?ve tryed all recently
published drivers (official and moded ones). No I run official Toshiba
98.13whql, 1400x1050 native lcd resolution. I can?t find any type of
considerations regarding this issue in driver realese notes. From some
internet research I found that this problem is not restricted no any sort of
systems, graphic cards or configurations, so it ends up being some kind of
"WMP11 over Windows Vista" bug.

That's what I suspect. However, WMP 11 was running ok on the same computer
with XP

ATI for Mobility Radeon), found here:
