i know in the pic of the windows media player you dont see a picture but there is one it just didnt stay when i screen shoot it and saved it with paint. but if you look hard you can see the size of the movie and the rest is just black and i wnat it to take advantage of my widescreen :)

I'm running Omega Radeon drivers for an ATI. In ATI properties, there are overlay settings for video aspect ratios and different external monitor setups.

This might be related to your problem. Have a look in the Nvidia properties.
