More info?)
Unfortunately I am unable to make a clear view of your issue. Pelase explain
what is the situation now:
* Is this windows media player 10 we are talking about ?
* Does it now appear in a seperate window rather than in the taskbar?
* is it in the skin mode. You can switch between skin to full mode by
clicking it once and pressing Ctrl-1 (this is pressing Ctrl key and while
keeping it pressed, press 1)
