Don't run Media Player. Download and install VLC - trust me, you will be a LOT happier!

FWIW, the only thing that VLC can't run that MP will, are encrypted videos.

Could be some background programs forced Media Player to restore from full screen. It seems to be a glitch from Media Player itself anyway...
You can try other media player for instance. VLC like Rubberman suggested. I would suggest Media Player Classic though... It bundles with codecs so you can run almost any video on Windows Media Player...
