Black screen when I use WMP in full screen mode

Hi.
When i watch TV on the windows media player so i have problem. If I switch on full screen so there is just black screen but i can hear sounds.
I've got my laptop for 4 months but everything was ok.
This problem started just now maybe 2 days ago. I think i've done something but i don't know what and i can't fix it.
Could you help me please?
Thanks

Hi,
It may be an obvious suggestion but, have you checked the "video settings". If you have changed the brightness and/or contrast playback to min values (ie no contrast and no brightness), the screen will play black.
To check the video settings, click the little arrow under the "Now Playing" tab and mouse over "Enhancements" then select "Video Settings" and select reset.
OR
1. Press ctrl + m
2. Open the "View Menu"
3. Select Enhancements
4. Select Video Settings
5. Select Reset
OR

LG enV3 First letter always defaults to lowercase when texting using the inside full keyboard

LG enV3 First letter always defaults to lowercase when texting using the inside full keyboard...yet works fine on outside keypad. I have the settings set up properly on the phone to Abc. Even if I change to all caps, it only affects the outside keypad on front of phone, and not the full inside keyboard when flipped open. SW version is VX920V02. I have tried resetting phone, yet did nothing.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi jjm12345!
Let's look into this! When did the issue begin? When you press shift, does the letter change to uppercase?
Thanks,

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

The EXACT same thing happened to me last night! Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze. When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen. None of the other videos I own will display either. Was your problem ever resolved?

Photoshop 5: blacking out when I use certain tools

I have Photoshop 5. Everything is up to date.
Most of the time when I use the crop tool or patch tool, it will black out when I am circling what I want to change or crop. I can't see what I'm cropping, I just have guess, and the same thing with my crop tool. It's been happening for a very long time. Almost since I first purchased it.

Do you really mean the ancient, obsolete Photoshop 5? Or did you mean Photoshop CS5 a.k.a. Photoshop 12.x?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Keynote is adding black pages when I use effcts and transitions

When I use effects on keynote pages such as disolve and I try to play back the presentation keynote seems to be adding blank pages between slides. Can anyone help me?

You could try to update your system to 10.4.11. That is the system requirement for iWork'09.

Motion in a Black Screen Mode that Won't Esc

I have tried Fn F8, Esc, Cmd-, etc., but I can't navigate away from this full screen mode in motion. At least I htink I am in full screen mode. I have quit the progam and relaunched, and for a split second after the relaunch the other areas of the program will show and then the screen goes black. If I control click, I get the options New group, Impost, Project Preferences. If I select one of those, I believe it is going to that option, but I can't see the new option window open. Please help- this is so frustrating!

Newest Macbook pro blacks out when the battery is near full and plugged in. Anyone else have this issue?

So for about 3 weeks, I have been forcing my macbook to close because whenever I wake it from sleeping to use it, I try to put in my password but it blacks out. I finally figured out that this only happens when its plugged in and near full battery life. Does anyone else have an issue similar to this?

How do I eliminate the black created when I use fit to page in a iPhoto Book?

How do I eliminate the black around picture I place with fit to page?

The area around the photo will be the background color selected for the page. The only option is to change the background color of the page to one that would be acceptable (if its a full page layout).
Another option is to crop the photo to the same size ratio as the frame and not use the fit photo to frame feature. That's 4:3 for most frames and 1:1.29 for full page 8.5 x 11 book pages.

Does the ethernet port work when the using airport express in client mode?

I am considering using an airport express to extend my existing wireless network to a room where I can't get a cable to.
I will need to connect a at least 3 devices to the airport express.
The questions are:
- is an airport express the right answer to this problem?
- if so, does the ethernet port work (AE on client mode) as a passthru into the main network?
- can I plug a hub to it?
Thanks

Hi Tesserax,
Really appreciate you taking time to respond.
I stopped by the Apple store this weekend and one of their sales people ( not one of their genius bar people) told me NO to all questions. I tend to believe more answers from people in this forum but just realize that I have not mentioned one possibly important point:
the main AP to which I will be connecting the airport express is not an Airport Extreme/Express AP.
Thanks,
Ricardo.

Popping sound when running WMP in full scr

Basically, I installed the card with a new computer. The specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Mother Asus AV8
Memory 2x52 Dual Channel Corsair Xms
80 Gb Matrox 7200 RPM PATA
Geforce4 6600 GT AGP
X-fi ExtremeMusic
TV / Radio AVermedia TV Phone (old TV card)
Sony DVD player
Ext. DVD/RW
While playing any game, you might ear it from time to time. Not really noticeable.
While listening to music in WINAMP or WMP, no problem at all.
However, if I use WMP in Full screen, you can ear it pretty well.
Any solutions beside reinstalling or updating drivers?
Could it be that when changing into full screen, the video card requires more power, and introduce some noise in the system that produce the popping sound in the sound card? (I have a 430Watts power supply)
Thanks
Max

You can check if
- decreasing the hardware acceleration (2 D graphics),
- decreasing the PCI latency for the grapgics (28),
- enabling the AGP fast write
- increasing the AGP aperture size into size of your geforce's onboard memory,
- lowering graphics resolution to 24-bit
- increasing the PCI Latency for sound card (64 or 28),
- (if the popping comes when you move the mouse then) decreasing the mouse sampling rate,
- changing performance optimization for applications (instead of background services) or vice versa if already set for applications
- using ASIO (plugin needed) with winamp
makes any difference with winamp popping issues.

Menu Bar items invisible in Safari full screen mode

I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina, mid-2014 (the MGX72). When I use Safari in full screen mode, then move the cursor to the very top of the screen, which is supposed to bring back the Menu bar, a blank space representing the Menu Bar appears, and if I move the cursor to any place on that blank space and click, I see the items/options associated with Menu Bar items. So it's like the Menu Bar items are there, but they're invisible. This has to be a glitch of some type. My MacBook Air doesn't do this; the Menu Bar items appear normally, as they should. Is there a fix for this? All the usual suspects for bringing Safari out of full screen mode work fine, but that's not the idea. The Menu Bar items are supposed to become visible and they do not.

No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
So anybody with further info, please post it here.

Black screen function messing transitions

SYSTEM PROFILE INFO:
running Tiger 10.4.4 and Keynote 2 on a 600Mhz dual USB iBook
PROBLEM: (Began having problems using Keyspan Presentation Remote after upgrading to KN2 and 10.4.4); when using the "black screen" keystroke feature in KN2 (I.e. command-b), the presentation would freeze when I returned to the presentation from the "black screen" mode. Behavior was NOT consistent. Sometimes it would simply be frozen on the last slide; other times it would start the next bullet animation, then suddenly stop the animation and then freeze. In any case, I cannot use the "black screen" feature without freezing my presentation.
I thought the problem was with the Keyspan Remote. Tried USB Overdrive software to fix; no results.
Then, I discovered that I have the exact problem using my iBook keyboard! Same problems resuming from "black screen" mode: freezing or partial bulleted text followed by freeze. Obviously, the problem is with either KN2 and my iBook (too slow? too old?) or something else.
I'd appreciate help as the "black screen" feature is HUGE to my teaching; it allows me to divert my students' gaze AWAY from the screen and back to me for a normal classroom atomosphere. It is one of the key benefits to me over PowerPoint.

Apparently, I have a serious problem, needs to be repaired by a professional. This computer has only been used a few times, but have had it since 11/15/2013. I am very disappointed in this product. Especially, since now it is needed. I will not by HP, off to look for a new computer

I can only use the internet in safe mode.

Hello,
I am connected to a internet cable and I can only connect to the internet when I use my MacBook in safe mode. I just want to be able to connect to the internet while not in safe mode. Please help me.

The problem was solved by reinstalling the system by using the original disks. Internet connection was prevented due to a missing file.

When starting Firefox 36 I Sometimes Get a Full Screen Black Screen

OK, I have NEVER before had this iisue with Firefox. ONLY after the use of Firefox 36 has it been happening.
I have seen similar issues mentioned on some other web sites, but no real answers.
What happens is after I have been surfing, a while, I shut down Firefox, and there are NO issues.
When I restart Firefox, it will sometimes come up with the ENTIRE screen black. The monitor power LED indicates I have signal and all that but nothing on screen I have to try various things and then I get my screen back. Now, as I stated, I have seen mention of this on other sites, BUT, no solid usable answers to how to fix let alone why it happens. They seem to mention that with as they call it "some types of web sites" cause some sort of issue with FF. Oh and it always was with older versions of FF (usually from FF 28 to FF 33) which also claim that "this issue should be cleared up with the next release".
Now, I do NOT have use hardware acceleration checked as I know it is an issue on my machine.
And NO safe mode does not appear to anything, but may ahve to do a bit more research.
BUT, what I really would like to know is if it is an addon, why is this issue SO random. I can surf a bunch of sites and quit FF, and restart FF and no issue, yet other times black screen again. This is why I am leaning toward it NOT being an addon, but instead something else. As to what? I have NO clue.
That is why I am posting here to see if any useful ideas crop up.

You are talking about the whole screen, not just the Firefox window, yes?
Do you keep FF full screen? Try using the '''Restore Down''' (next to the
red X) to have FF in a smaller window. Then close / reopen.
Check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

OK, first item, NO I never use FF fullscreen EVER.
Second. I am using a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 PCI 128MB card. I have the last driver EVER released for it installed.
Third hardware acceleration is OFF in Flash as well as FF.
And lastly, the items I see listed in the FAQ for Flash Protected Mode DO NOT apply to me as this is when starting FF not when viewing YouTube videos.
And yes, back to your 1st question it is the ENTIRE screen. And like I stated in OP it happens randomly I have never even tried to figure out which sites cause it because I simply surf so many in the course of a session that would literally be impossible.
