wm maximises to left of screen and cant be reached but it still plays
if i change the skin it is ok but wm player skin will not work
can anyone help

This is the closest I got -

"A: Start WMP, then right-click on the taskbar icon for WMP, then select Move from those options. Click the left and up arrows on your keyboard until WMP comes back onscreen - it is simply offscreen at this point. If a list of options do not come up, you are in skin mode in the player. Browse to c:\program files\windows media player\skins and double-click on a skin file - that should open up in the player, and the player should then be visible again."
