Default Media Player Object No Longer Plays Full Screen

I have no idea what I have done. I have an IBM Thinkpad A20m laptop with dual
display option. I have a huge presentation to present to my boss tomorrow,
and now it no longer works. I have several .wma files inserted as Objects
Windows Media Player so that the visualization will show full screen.

Something in my settings must have changed, because now my screen
automatically goes black, the music starts, and then it returns to the
presentation view rather than a full screen visualization. Someone please
help me so I don't lose my job.......

Thanks in advance.

You don't mention whether this happens on the laptop screen, an external
projector screen or both, but see if the suggestions here help:

Videos play correctly on computer but not on projector (black box)

Open Media Player and make certain you have visualizations turned on by
default. The control itself has no way to turn them on or off and inherits
whatever the last setting used.

It happens on both screens. It opened previously before I adjusted display
settings and now it does not work at all.
