After reinstalling WMP 11after a conflict with a G15 applet windows media player always opens maximised whereas before it opened in the same sized window that I was last running (the normal player resized to fit the lower-right quarter of the screen). The properties of the wmp 11 icon are set to open in a normal window and rolling back to wmp 10 still presents the same issue. I have posted this issue in the windows media player forum but nobody bothered to reply. TIA Dave

Go to the 56K FAQ for help on finding out what kind of mode…

Hi all, I'm working on a project to integrate Macs to a predominantly Windows Server 2003 Active Directory network. In a test environment, I've joined an iMac to Active Directory and can successfully logon with different Active Directory accounts. I then want to print to network printers.
