For example, I launch my player and CONTRAST has the value of 22. Then I close player and relaunch and now it has value of 21. All I am doing is getting this value and never setting it. I am also getting this value once I know state changed to Play since it can't query unless in Play state.<BR>  <BR> Any ideas on this one?<BR><br /><hr />Get Windows Live and get whatever you need, wherever you are. <a href='http://www.windowslive.com/default.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Home_082008' target='_new'>Start here.</a></body> </html>
