Thanks Michael for responding. When I start a movie a movietime pop out appears to the right of the screen. Most of the times it goes away after a few seconds but it has gotten stuck on more that one occasion meaning staying out thus blocking the picture. i have gone into the settings and unclicked all under the movietime tab but it has not made a difference.
While i have you here i have another couple of issues that i have posted but have not gotten a response. i only use PDVD for Blu ray and i have my blu rays in folders on my hard drive. i am using My Movies 4 to select the movie from within Media Center. The problem i am having is when the movie starts the tabs i.e. movie, video, photo, music and device and the player controls don't go away. They remain visible throughout the movie. This is very distracting. i have setup the tv in media center both as a television and as a flat screen neither has worked. i have had on a few occasions had the tabs and the controls go away so i know it can be done.
Lastly i have had aspect ratio problems. when i start a movie sometimes even though it is a widescreen movie it appears in a box instead of filling up the entire screen. if i stop the movie with the stop button and then hit the play button it corrects itself. if there is a way to correct these issues i would appreciate it. thanks
