Media Player

[debby]

I use a media player on my computer and play CD's while I'm cleaning. Today I put a CD in and got a totally different screen. The screen just lists the name of the album and the songs. I can't tell you what I have except there is a Windows Media Player and a Media Player, two different things. When I played albums before, a screen would come up, list the artist and songs on the right side, and in the big middle area you could choose all kinds of graphics for it. Since I don't know what I'm doing when I try to change something, I'm asking if anyone else knows how to change it back to the graphics screen or even know what I'm talking about. I'm thinking maybe an update changed it, which I understand updates are not to change anything but that is not true, stuff gets changed on me all the time. Thanks for any help in advance. I like that screen with the colors and swirls and I want it back.

Could you please post a screen shot of the Media Player. How to post screenshots or images

SuperDave, you knew it was me! You gave me the instruction site to go to for taking screenshots. I read it, did everything it said until I got to "run". I had no run showing anywhere. So I went back to the windows media player, messed around with it for a bit and found how I could get it to what I wanted. Only problem is that I have to click on extra stuff every time I put a new CD in. It used to just come on automatically. I don't know why it doesn't but that's just a minor thing.

Thank you SuperDave....I love you, you always help me after ALL these years!
