Problem: DivX, WMP7.1 and Fullscreen

[Grisu]

I sometimes watch DivX-movies on my PC with Windows Media Player 7.1. However, since a few weeks I get the problem that every 15-20 minutes the view switches from Fullscreen to Window-Mode which is quite annoying since I don't want to get up every 20 minutes to change it back.

I tried to stop all background-Programs but the problem still occurs. Has anyone of you encountered a similar problem or knows the solution to it?

BTW, I'm running Win2k SP2.

Do you have a screen saver setup? If so try turning that off.

OMG , can't believe I could be so stupid, I'm now going to my little corner and am terrible ashamed for at least the remaining week

However, I still find it strange that the Screensaver didn't start up but just changed the player to window-mode.

Anyway, thanks a lot :welldone:
