Black Bars on left and right while playing YouTube, etc.

I just noticed yesterday (I didn't change any computer settings as far as I know) that when I play videos (example YouTube) and such using Adobe Flash Player 10 that I now have 1-2 inch wide black bars the run from top of screeen to bottom on both the left and right of the video playing. I'd like it to go back to utilizing the whole screen while playing video. I've deleted and reloaded Adobe 10 Flash Player, tried researching answers online... Can't seem to find answers to trouble shoot this issue. When replying, please make your ideas/instructions easy for the average Joe.  Thanks.

*Yes, I know how to click the icon to convert to Full Screen... Afterwards I tried the right click while the video play's to search for other "Full Screen" options-but, there isn't any only the small box with the choice of checking accelerator option and other options.

    Oh, I've Window 7 Home Premium which is both 32 and 64 bit if that matters. But like I noted, the upright left and right 'black bars' displaying while video play-just started yesterday. Up until then from when I got this new laptop in December up until yesterday all videos would play utilizing the Full Screen WITHOUT the black bars. Want feedback as to make black bars to GO AWAY.  Thanks.
