How can Remove Black Bars From Screen

Hi,

Just updated my graphics card driver & today I have black bars around my GSC 2013 screen. I had this problem when I first got GSC2012 and I eventually fixed it by changing some details of the config file. However, that is not fixing it, I have coped & pasted my config file below to see if anyone can spot anything:

Thanks in advance,

I'm not really an expert, but I would run GSC config.exe (in your GSC2013 installation directory) and uncheck 'windowed' or/and 'wide screen UI'.
You can always revert if it didn't solve the issue.
