Can anyone tell me how to make the window larger when I view a tutorial on Quicktime? What is happening is the window is not large enough to uncover the play controls at the bottom, so I have to watch the whole thing over again. Thanks.

I just change the zoom size to 125% and I get the controls. May be a better way, but this works for me.

I don't see the play controls either....never have since day one. Tried zooming and everything.....still no go. Tried Firefox and IE...still no go.
At the very bottom of the QT screen, there is a black line, about 1/4" clear across. If I click on it...the video stops....click again and the video starts. Sometimes I get lucky and am able to drag my mouse from right to left on the black bar and I can backup the video enough to repeat what I just saw.
It's a hit and miss effort....but I'm getting used to it.
Now then, if I download the videos....I can view the play controls okay.
I figure it's something on my system that blocks the controls during streaming?

Could be a question of screen resolution. I know that changing the resolution is an option for some people who've run into this problem.

Did you also know that you can use the spacebar to stop and start the videos regardless of whether you can see the controls or not?

Bayla, using the space bar is a great tip....and it works perfect for me. A lot easier than clicking on the screen.
I know how to change screen resolution and I will give that a try.

Thanks again, Bayla

Thanks to all. When I resize down to 75% the control bar momentarily appeared and then disappeared. I have also noticed that it is not on all the videos that it does it. I will use the space bar until someone fixes it. Thanks again.
