Widescreen video?

I own a new widescreen laptop next to vista, when I play a fullscreen video fullscreen it is not streching it to the full widescreen, it just add the black bars on the side. Anything I can do to fix this? I enjoy looked for windows medium plugins and cannot find anything.

Answer:
dont think so man
Why not use something else for watching your videos/listening to music? Something close to Winamp or VLC (VideoLan) are free programs that play many more video formats than Windows Media and hold many more features.
A "Full Screen" video is not a "Wide Screen" Video.

Full blind is a 4:3 ratio, like a standard small screen, and will only play that opening on a widescreen monitor, with black bar on the sides.

Widescreen is 16:9 and will appear in widescreen format on a widescreen monitor, lacking black bars on the side, but within may be black bars on the top and bottom, depending on your eyeshade size.

There may be a control to switch to widescreen (Letterbox) format that you haven't explored, but the movie has to be formatted for widescreen playback.
