Windows Media Player problem. Help needed.

I recently purchased a new machine running Windows 7. Until tonight, I hadn't
played my music in Windows Media player. The problem is, I can't get visualizations
in the "now playing" mode. A minor concern, to be sure. But it means much to me.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry I don't know much about Windows Media Player, but you may not care if you see what the Milkdrop visualization for Winamp can do.

Maybe try that before going back to WMP if nobody here can answer your question?

I use it for audio and KMPlayer for video. The latter will play pretty much any media file, but their visualizations aren't that great. With these two players, I never use Windows Media Player. I have no idea what it's like anymore...

JetAudio
KMPlayer
