Stop Media Player from changing fullScreen to false on every save..

[Guest]

I have the Windows Media Player control (from the control toolbox) inserted onto a slide. I set fullScreen to true. Every time I save the file, then open it back up, the "fullScreen" property has returned to false. How do I get the "fullScreen" property to stay "set" always on

Without fullscreen mode the windows media player movies are jerky and stilted most of the time inside powerpoint. (framed with slide master graphics or logos and stuff

Only full screen mode seems to deliver smooth video when using media player ocx control (from the control toolbox). HELP!

Hello,

This is known problem with the Windows Media Player control, which has been
reported to the Windows team. [Translation - If you use this ActiveX
control, there is nothing that PowerPoint can do to prevent this from
happening.]

However, if you are using PowerPoint 2003, you no longer have to use this
ActiveX control if you need full screen movie playback. Instead, you can
use the new "Zoom to full screen" feature for movies inserted using the
"Insert -> Movies and Sounds" command (instead of using the ActiveX
control).
