Cannot play a DVD in full screen.
When I play a DVD with Windows Media Player, I am unable to view in full screen. Black margins on each side of the movie screen. It is a new problem. I uninstalled WMP and reinstalled and it is not changed. I can watch full screen in other modes.
Clearly your message not being your comments on the web site of Microsoft Answers, I moved it on forum Feedback to windows ' Photos and video "forum. Return to your message, and click the Edit button located just below. Change the Version of Windows, menu dropdown to indicate your version of Windows, then click on submit. People can help you better if you do not keep your Windows version a secret.
When I play videos via WMP (on WIndows 7), I click on the button "full screen" down right WMP and I get an image full screen. If you have a widescreen monitor, then you will have black bars on the sides of a video, all Standard definition as you would if you were to view a SD video on a large screen TV. I don't think that WMP has a 'stretch' or 'zoom' works as a TV does, so I don't think that it can artificially change the size of the video as a TV can. Similarly, if you play a widescreen, HD video on a monitor with a ration of 4:3 (like a standard TV) in full mode aspect screen, you'vv have black bands above and below the video. At least, that's how it works for me.

using windows 7 in my HP Pavilion a1110n desktop and cd plays end. When I put a dvd, it won't play. The reason he gives is that "it is not possible to activate the analog copy on the output display protection." He also told me to try the update driver for the video card. I went into the menu devices and he had to manually update the graphics card - but it just says that the more recent driver already installed! What makes things worse is that I can't just walk out of the old graphics card because it is integrated in the motherboard! Please, any ideas?

DVD decoder not installed?
I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message. Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.
Thanks if anyone can help.
Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.
The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.
Using Media Player version 10 or 11?
the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert). It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.
because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)
So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing. Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.
Have a great day!

Windows xp does not come standard with a dvd decoder, so it must be installed. This would have been done by Dell when you purchased if you say that you did not.
You have all the disks in Dell? If so, get through them dvd playing software, common are windvd or powerdvd.
