    I wanted to drag it to the side to make it fit in half the screen but it doesn't work for some reason.

    I'm using it to play .mkv

    Is there a better player for .mkv?

    In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, Shark007's codec packs coupled with Windows Media Player works nicely with mkv files.

    On another note, I've noticed that you've created a very disproportionate number of threads for your 55 posts, many of which are on basically the same topic. Going forward, please consolidate similar questions in your existing threads instead of starting half a dozen on nearly identical topics.

    Ok it works with WMA now that I downloaded the Haali MEdia splitter, but I would still be able to play with otehr players such as GOM player while being able to also do window snapping with them. Is it just not possible?
