    Windows Media Player off screen - HELP


    Somehow I managed to get WMP12 off the right of the screen. I've tried disabling / re-enabling it and can't find help elsewhere and even changing resolutions, but I can't get it back on-screen. There's no 'Move' function (on the taskbar) like there is in XP and Vista.

    on the Applications tab, right-click Windows Media Player and select Maximize

    I've also tried that... it does nothing.
