Videos play in full-screen mode

[Greg G.]

How do I stop windows from playing all videos in a full-screen mode. It does
not matter the format of video either. Windows media, real videos or
quicktime, they all switch to a full-screen mode which I can not escape out
of. It also does not matter which program is playing the video either, Real
Player, Quick Time...they all jump to a full-screen mode.

Operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service
Pack 2.

I have a Sony Vaio Computer with Pentium D 3.00 GHz

Are you sure?

Yes I am sure, or I would not have asked. It has to be something in the
windows operating system that is causing this. Maybe, when I downloaded
service pack 2 for my Media Center Edition or possibly Windows Media Player
11?

Apologies for that. I had added a bit onto the end and realised that it was
not relevant. I was going to suggest something else that also turned out to
be a red herring.

I then inteded to cancel the post, but somehow sent just that line instead.
I have no doubt that you are sure.
