You have no clue what stupidity I saw in my life experience. I reckon the name Classic comes from the fact that this is the look of the player as we know all the way back to win95.Ĭlick to expand.When I say something, it is because I know and saw it from personally experience. Up until VLC came along there was "nothing like it". Go try it out and discover what a kick-ass piece of software it is.

MPC includes codecs to play almost anything and the GUI simplicity (rip-off) was a sort of counter-movement to MS new moves with the GUI of their WMP. But MPC as it's also known has nothing to do with Microsoft.

but Media Player Classic is a separate project that indeed looks like WMP6 but that's also where the resemblance ends. In the early days Windows Media Player "Classic" was a Microsoft release that was included with Win98, ME etc. This codec pack has a utility to change the default player form 32 to 64-bit)įrom what I'm able to find out "MPC: Disable monitor powersaving during playback on Windows Vista" was added in release 6.4.9.1Īnd off-topic: GoodBytes please drag your behind out of the nineties and get with the beat. (Remember, to allow you to use these codecs you must use Windows Media Player 11 64-bit. I suggest to uninstall it, and use this one: If that still doesn't help, then its a problem with the codec that you use. However, here is how to toggle it, (maybe something changed it): Go to the Option of Windows Media Player 11, go to the "player" tab, and you see a check box (2nd one at the sub section called "Player Settings"), that has the name of "Allow screen saver during playback", and check the settings. Media Player Classic in Vista!?!?! I think you got those crack or "fake" (their developer own style of player) player.ġ- If you use the real thing, Windows Media Player 11 32 or 64-bit (set as 32-bit as default, but you can change to run the 64-bit instead, which is way better as you can run 64-bit codecs (which are all out now))Ģ- By default Windows Media Player 11 (32 and 64 -bit) has the option set that the screen saver doesn't start when your playing a video.
