The LCD screen on the Olympus SP-800uz camera is widescreen (16:9).
If you set the camera to take pictures in (4:3) ratio you het the black sides.

Solution:
Select a Widescreen Image Size (see the manual page 30) by selecting one of
the available Image Size settings 16:9 (L) (4288×2416) or 16:9 (S) (1920×1080).

I'm guessing you are trying to change to fullscreen mode, press F11 while in internet explorer and it will enter fullscreen mode. Press F11 again to return to normal.

If you set the guest monitor to a resolution higher than the machine supports, full screen switch mode does not work properly in the full screen player (vmware-fullscreen.exe). In some cases this can cause the guest operating system to hang.
This problem occur only in vmware-fullscreen.exe. The problem does not occur when you set a virtual machine to full screen view in the Workstation user interface you see a message advising you to reduce your guest's resolution or color depth and try again.

full screen mode just on the tft screen or to an external device ie a projector or monitor or what exactly ?

Also are there any options in the bios of the laptop to enable full screen mode or if you update the graphics card drivers does that help ?

you have to adjust the resolution

You should search for how to get "overscan" on your laptop model. ... I have a mac mini plugged into an LCD tv and in order to get it fullscreen i had to enable overscan. 

What games do you play?
In some internet games you can press F11 for full screen.
Though in most games you have to go through their menu's to get full screen.
In windows the default keystroke for fullscreen in Alt, Enter pressed together.
Though that is not a guarantee either.
Generally how to get full-screen is different from game to game in some sort of settings menu.
For instance I play Last Chaos online and it is automatically full-screen.
When I played runescape online I had to select full-screen at the log in screen.

If it says that your system can not run it in fullscreen mode, then it certainly can not be ran in fullscreen mode.
