    Whenever I open a video it automatically goes to full screen view and I cant get out of it no matter what keys I push (except alt f4 to close it) It has done it with windows media player, VLC, and Winamp, and with different videos so I know its a universal problem.

    Any idea?

    I don't know if this will help, but I attached a screen shot below of Windows Media Player. If you right click in the same general area of the bright green box, then navigate through the menus that come up, you should be able to find a setting somewhere. But it could also be that a codec pack is triggering everything to run in full screen mode, which is strange, bit PCs are strange themselves. Maybe uninstall/reinstall your codecs, and maybe there's a setting in one of 'em (like the KLite packs have numerous settings you can configure during/after installation) that you can change....

    This problem still has me confused.

    I noticed that my webcam hasnt been working either. I have the drivers for it freshly installed.

    Could those 2 things be related?

    Also tried uninstalling/reinstalling video codecs also.
