Well,i'm not sure what is going on.When i play a clip WMP opens,but i have a large black screen and the clip plays in a small screen it the center if this makes any sense.It was working fine yesterday. 😕

Is this when playing all clips or just certain one(s)? I don't know if this has anything to do with your problem, but are you aware of the various "zoom" settings? I'm currently using Version 8 of WMP and under the "View" menu, if I hover the mouse cursor over "Zoom", I can select from "Fit to window", 50%, 100%, or 200%, with keyboard shortcuts of Alt-1, Alt-2, or Alt-3, respectively, as alternative means to select among the last three settings. And whatever setting I'm curently using seems to be saved between sessions. Is it possible you could have unknowingly hit Alt-1 or otherwise somehow set the zoom to 50% without realizing it?

cabalist probably has it; looks like a zoom issue. If it is only happening with one clip, then the clip itself may be small. You may also have it on "fullscreen" mode. Hitting F11 will correct that if so.
