Looks like you deserve what you've got then my friend! Sorry to sound so unsympathetic but I've been on the recieving end of a team hiring someone with 'exagerated capabilities' and it messes everything up.

The problem now is theyve told me they want it converted to a windows media file (wma i think) to use online but when i try an do that (on premiere and windows movie maker) it changes back from widescreen to small screen again. Ive got windows media encoder, will that help?
Yes it will. You basically have to 'stretch your movie so that it is widescreen ratio. i.e. instead of 720x5nn (can't remember the number, sorry) stretch it out to 1024x5nn to get a widescreen presentation. That's what I've done.

it truly is a nightmare for the noob. I'm still certainly no expert. I have half a dozen preset I use regularly. Any time I need to produce something different to my 'usual' then it often takes ages till I'm happy. Often, exporting is a bit of trial and error. You will find what works for you eventually though.
