On my work computer, Windows Media Player 12 is installed: Version: 12.0.7601.17514. I'm not able to get the currently queued tracks or playlist to display like in previous versions.

Here's what I'm seeing:

My WMP

Note: I've got Windows 7 with the Aero theme turned off, which is why the player looks so bland.

Here's what I'd like to see (the "Play list" section on the right):

Ideal WMP

Note: In my version of WMP, under the Help menu, the Check for updates... option is disabled.

Update:

There is no Library option in the View menu...

You're now in WMP's Skin mode. To switch back to Library mode, open the View menu and select Library, then select the Play tab on top to show the current playlist.

In response to the update:

Then the group policy to prevent you from using WMP's library is probably active on your system. To deactivate it, open the Start Menu, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Media Player - User Interface, double-click Set and Lock Skin and set it to Disabled.

Thanks @Tim De Baets, but there is no Library option in the View menu (see screenshot in updated question). Also clicking the little icon in the top right corner Switch to Library does nothing either...
