Hello there,

I switched to Windows Media Player 11 quite a while back on Windows XP
Professional. Now what i notice is that the player will not longer
automatically adapt the played video file to the size of the Media Player
window.
I double checked to see if the option is on.
When i minimize or maximize the player window once it will adapt but it
should do so instantly upon startup/opening just like Windows Media Player 10
did.

Is this a bug or something else preventing it from working?

it's not suprising since neither version knows what size the actual video
(original) should be and so both displays are based upon some abitrary guess
work

wmp 6.4 is the 'only' version of windows media player that knows the
original size of the video - it is still lurking around on your machine
somewhere and if you run your video with it you will be able to see it in
it's original size

Looks like you are not wuite getting my point. :)
I do not want to make the media player window have the size of the played
video file. I want it the other way around!
In WMP10 the video file got stretched without any hassle.

i notice the play option says "fit video to player on resize" (as distinct
from 'on start')

I see the 2 options. So WMP can change the window to the video file format
upon starting. But it can't do it the other way around?
VideoLAN player here i come.

Prolly just an oversight. If you go back to those settings :

You should have

Zoom set to 100% (not 50 or 200%)
Fit video to fit player on Resize (ticked)
Fit player to fit video on Start (ticked)

HTH
Cheers - Neil

Sorry to reply this late.

But i tried what you suggested to no avail unfortunatly.

Ticking both options and setting the zoom to 100% will not change th
behaviour of the player upon starting
