Most of the times the problem is due to incomplete removal of Elelctronic Arts program entry.
SOLUTION
Download any other free add remove program from the net & run it.
Open your control panel and the add remove program from it and then compare the programs from it and whatever is not seen in your control panel and is seen in the downloaded add remove program is the CULPRIT. Delete that entry and VIOLA your black bars have disappeared. Usual culprit as I said Elelctronic Arts.
