To get Media Center in a window, you click the Restore button in
the upper right next to the Close button.� The resulting window has
the same proportions (width to height) as your monitor, and that
ratio remains fixed when you resize the window.
One way to adjust the height individually is to size the window
fairly large on your monitor, then start the Magnifier.�
Start->All Programs->Accessories->Ease of
Use->Magnifier.� This places a docked magnifying window at the
top of your screen, and forces any windows that would be covered to
adjust their height.� The Media Center window will be given a wider
ratio, which it will retain through reboots.� To adjust the ratio,
while the magnifier is running, hover over the bottom edge of the
magnification dock, and drag to resize.� As you resize the
magnifier, other windows on the desktop remain in view.
Once you have achieved a ratio that looks good to you, you can
exit Magnifier through its control panel File->Exit, and windows
that were adjusted will remain so.
Finally, in the Media Center window with video or tv playing,
click through your Zoom options.� 3 is a good one for a wide
window.
