I would suggest you to refer the following steps and check if it helps.
a) Open Windows Media Player. Click "Library" and select "Video" to a list of video files in your media library.
b) Double-click a video file. Windows Media Player will play it.
c) Press "ALT+1" to zoom the video by 50 percent. Press "ALT+2" to zoom it by 100 percent. Press "ALT+3" to zoom it by 200 percent.
d) Press "ALT+ENTER" to zoom the video to full-screen.
e) Press "ESC" to exit full-screen mode and return the video to normal size. Use the zoom feature to take snapshots of interesting enlarged scenes by pressing the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. Open a WordPad document and press "CTRL+V" to paste the captured image.

2017-02-01T11:41:07+00:00 This guys fix worked by putting the display in Demo mode (See link below). Though it feels more like a Band-Aid and not a fix. Couldn't find the overlay suggested above either to resolve the issue. Seems this issue is old and still exist with no definitive resolution to cause or resolution.

Thanks! It works for me. I saved the instructions in a Notepad file on the computer. After I made the changes and closed AMD Catalyst Control Center, a pop up box notified me that the changes would become reset (undone) next time I log in. So, it seems necessary to select the changes again after each log in on the computer. (I don't know if this also means also "restart" when you reboot or restart the computer and log in automatically, when you are the only user of the particular computer.) At least I can use WMP again for videos (especially music concerts!) instead of the annoying MS Video program resident in Win 8.1.
