Miniplayer Mode?

Miniplayer mode has always worked fine on my computer, however recently it has stopped. WMP itself seems to still be working perfectly fine but when i minimize it it does not go to the MP mode. I have WMP ticked under taskbar>toolbars, but all this does is shift some space at the bottom where it should be but WMP just stays as a tab at the bottom just more squished up.
I had never realised how useful the MP mode is untill now, when I am having to do without. Maybe it was my lack of gratification that lead it to teach me a moral lesson : ).
Anyway please help as I am sure it has a simple answer which I have overlooked.

do you have a window blind installed or anything that changes the look of the task bar...?

sometimes that will do it...try changing the Theme to XP-classic and see what it does..?

Hi,
Thank you for your response. I do not have a window blind installed and I tried changing the theme's but that didn't work either. At the moment all that happens is WMP just looks like a normal tab when minimized.


- I have also noted that my Taskbar>Toolbar settings do not seem to be remembered inbetween shut downs. I untick the "language bar" but next time i boot up[ the comp its back? However I have checked and WMP is always ticked.
