Hi,

Try the below steps.

You can try adjusting the video settings of your Windows Media Player:

1. On the menu tab, select View
2. Select Enhancements
3. Select Video Settings

Under video settings you can adjust the brightness, contrast, color settings, etc. You can also check on the video size:

1. On the menu tab, select "View"
2. Select "Video Size"

I think this will helps you.

I need a bit more of an explanation
mostly the quality of video is down to the data file you are looking at.
can you provide some more info about your machine

The best and simplest codec pack in my opinion is the K-Lite codec pack. If you don't know exactly which components to install, just leave everything as it is. Once it's installed any video format should work just fine. It's free and you can find it here:http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?

Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use "troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run. Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))

can not update

The easiest way to delete them is actually to hook the Sony device to your computer and go to My Computer, which is under START.. it may just be called COMPUTER depending on what version of Windows you are running. Go there and you will find the player there, it will be the last drive letter (for example drive E: or F:), or may appear at the very bottom as an MP3 player. Just double click it and there you will have access to all the files on the device.

Just go through and locate each file, whether it is music, pictures, or videos, and just click it once to highlight it, then hit DELETE on your keyboard. It will pop up asking you to confirm that you want to delete it. Then it will be removed from the device.

Please let me know if this is unclear or if you need more help, just reply to my answer here and I will be right back to help you!

Thanks,
Tim

Please explain in more detail the problem.

Hi,

The bluetooth window cannot be run in background and will alert on every file transfer.

But, to keep the Windows Media Player window on top and continue to watch the videos in fullscreen mode, you can try this workaround to keep WMP at the top of all windows.

1) At the top of the Windows Media Player window, right-click and select Tools > Options (See attached image)




2) Then in the Options menu, click on "Player" tab, click the check box next to "Keep the player on top of other windows". Then click "Apply" , then "OK" and close the Options menu. (See attached image)



Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

Maximize the window before closing it. It will then open maximized when you open it again.
