Hi MichaelZ1,
You need to switch to the Now playing mode to play the Visualizations in Windows Media Player. To play visualizations
1. Open Windows Media Player
2. Go to View Menu and select Now Playing
3. On the player screen right click on the player screen and you will get the Visualization options
Hope this information is helpful.
