LUTZIFER Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Originally posted by Shmanky Do you minimize from the titlebar (large) minimize button, or from the small minimize button on the blue part of the player next to the drop-down selection box? Or both work? All the ways to minimize WMP, minimize to Taskbar for me, and my taskbar is locked. I sure love the controls when minimized, beats that crappy ShellAudioPlayer, thats for sure. Sure works great for watchin video while still surfin, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the old ShellAudioPlayer and this one looks good as it's integrated with the main player. Are you people running SP1 with MP9 and can minimize? I'm running SP1 1073 and can't minimize.

I had d/l it and installed it without rebooting but winlogon just gave me an error and 2k restarted, now I'm seeing "Windows 2000 Professional. For testing purposes only. Build 2109" in the bottom right corner of the screen.:s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proph Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 What mine does when I minimize it is it doesnt instantly go to taskbar, it does then it resets itself with a little "sliding to the left" animation. I have the allow animation thing on.. what about the Language bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
