Can't get full screen display on wide-screen shows

[wscrivens]

Since I upgraded to 99.12, I have been having the following problem. When viewing a narrow-screen show, the picture fills the screen top to bottom, and there is about a 2" black area on each side. Aspect ration is good, fine picture.
BUT when viewing a wide-screen recording, the picture shrinks down so there is a 2" black border all around the screen. The image has the right aspect ratio, it just doesn't fill the screen. The exception to this is the annoying little "preview" thingies some networks show at the bottom of the screen. Those are rendered correctly at the bottom, in the above-mentioned black area.

I'm using VMR9 Custom, and have tried all of the Display Type settings, nothing seems to have any effect.

Any help would be welcome.

Does pressing F7 a few times to change aspect ratio help?

I have FRAPS, though not on my PVR machine. I'll install it and post images.
I will try F7.

Thanks, Sub. I guess I didn't RTFM well enough ;-)
F7 to Center Cut did the trick.
