No full screen in Win Media Player 11

[John]

I have vista home premium 32 bit on an Acer Extensa 4620Z with 2G of Ram.
When I play a wmv file, it will not play at full screen in Win Media Player
11. It will play at 100% but the screen goes blank at 200%. Is there a plug
in that I need. I have all of the Win updates.

200% probably exceeds your rez, try the actual 'full screen' instead.

It's probably his video card driver, but strangely enough could even be his
audio card driver.

This is the likely source problem because you'll notice that WMV works in
standard mode, establishing that Media Foundation and the codec are working
properly, it just glitches out in full mode. This *should* be a video card
driver glithc, but strangely enough I've seen one report so far that it was
actually their audio card. =\
