WMP10 used to be able to play a series of videos one after the other in full
screen, without reverting to window mode after each video stops and the
other begins... however this is no longer possible!

I didnt change anything... this is strange!

When the first video finishes and the other begins it snaps out of full
screen mode, and goes to window mode, and I have to get up and change it
back to full screen mode. I tried reinstalling WMP10 but nothing changed...

any ideas?
 
I found the reason for the strange behaviour!

I am posting this in case other people has the same problem.. and indeed
I have searched google groups and many people do have the same problem
and no one (until now) has offered a solution!

The problem in my case was that I used a tool from www.divx.com called
DivXToolbarToggleTool.exe
that stops the DivX icon from appearing in the system tray, since it was
irritating, I disabled it with the above tool. However that was when the
problem started.
I re-enabled the icon with the same tool and presto! It was ok again....

I suspect that others have the same problem when using the divx codec.
So I have to offer a possible solution. Uninstall the Divx codec they have
now, and reinstall the latest from the www.divx.com site.

If they have a problem using another codec perhaps they should reinstall the
codec they are using.
