It seems Microsoft needs a lot of things to fix in Windows 7 before releasing the final version. Although MS developers are trying their best to make Windows 7 a perfect OS by fixing as much bugs as they can, still there are many bugs which have not been fixed yet.
Lots of bugs were inherited from Vista in earlier builds of Windows 7 but thankfully lots of them got fixed in later builds:

But following bug is still unfixed:
Windows Seven Classic Theme Bug
And now lets share a funny bug which was not present in Beta build but has been introduced in the latest 7057 build. The bug is related to Windows Media Player. Thanks to saeedsaf @ Joejoe forums for reporting this bug.
The bug appears when you minimize Windows Media Player in "Now Playing" mode and hover your mouse cursor over its taskbar button. The album art flips upside down which looks really funny:
I hope MS will fix this new bug in future builds.

^^ It doesnt happen here. Try one thing. Open WMP and resize it according to your requirement and then press and hold "Shift" key while clicking on Close button. Now open WMP again and it should remember the window size.

Hi again Vishal
Well, I tried what you suggested but still WMP only open up very small in the top left corner of the monitor? It's all very strange however, I did just notice that now it opens correctly when I play a music track/file but just has that same old problem when playing a movie? Thanks for your good advice anyway but I don't know what else to try to rectify this annoying problem? Cheers!

^^ Try one more thing. Open a video in WMP and then resize it. Now right-click on the video and make sure "Video -> Fit Player to video" option is selected. Also uncheck the option "Fit video to Player on resize".
I hope it'll help.

Hi yet again Vishal
No, that didn't work either? I am using Windows 7 Build 7068, not that it should matter, as this WMP problem has bee happening on all theWindows 7 builds, right through from the original Build 7000? Yet it never happened in Vista for some strange reason? Maybe it is a bug after all, although it can't be if it's working OK on your PC/Laptop? I was wondering if I should get rid of WMP 12 and revert back to version 11 and see if that helps as I believe that with Win 7, you can delete WMP and some other programs? Just a thought but thanks anyway. It's bloody annoying though but thanks for all you help again Vishal. It is much appreciated.
Regards

VG, I found an interesting bug for Windows Media Player in Vista. When you use mini mode, you restire the full mode, you would have totally transperent visualization with the already transparent bar on the bottom. The interface looks very funky too. You need Aero to see it, not including VistaVG's
