Hi,
Not very technical but I have a new PD with Windoes vista. The Windows media
player that came loaded will not show on the screen when I open it. I click
on the icon and it appears in the tray below but when I click on it it lools
like it opens way over to the right of the screen. I am unable to maximize it
on the screen. Any help would be appreicated.

it is opened off screen - happens sometimes if you switch to a
secondary monitor (for example). it is easy to fix...

Right-click the icon in the tray. From the menu shown, choose "Move"

Now, leave your mouse alone, and using only the arrow keys on your
keyboard, try moving repeatedly down/left, or up.right, until the
player starts to appear on screen.

Keep this up until you can see the menu bar, to drag it on screen
fully using the mouse.

Finally (important) CLOSE the player, which will remember its last
screen position - reopening it, should be shown at  the last place you
closed it ;-)

HTH
