SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to play video on an oblong LCD screen (for example, with a resolution of 1024 X 480), Full-Screen mode may not function properly. Clips cannot be scaled to fill the entire screen; the top and bottom of the clip may be cut off.



WORKAROUND
Use Windows Media Player 6.4 to view videos in Full-Screen mode with this type of screen and resolution. To run Windows Media Player 6.4, click Start, click Run, type mplayer2, and then click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
