Can only see MIDDLE of the screen for movies played.

Hi, I have some VCDs, SVCDs. I used to have no problem playing my VCDs in Windows Media Player. Then, I got an SVCD and I couldn't play it on the computer. So I downloaded various things and installed including Elecard MPEG2 player, Elecard MPEG3 Codec, and WinDVD trail version etc., just to try them all out.

Well, it worked and I can now play all SVCDs in Windows Media Player as well as MPEG2's player. But now, even all VCDs and SVCDs and DVDs, everything I play, I can only see the MIDDLE of the screen.

What I mean is, when I play any movie, the top, bottom, sides all have about 2 inches trimmed off so I can't see them. I know because only the top 1/2 of the subtitles are on screen. Also, when I do a screen capture with MPEG2 player or WinDVD, it shows the WHOLE screen in the .bmp caught! Even the parts i don't see (the edges).

I tried uninstalling the Codec and all that stuff but to no avail! The thing is, I can play the VCDs in my VCD player on my TV, and see the entire screen, but on the computer, the top, bottom and sides are missing about 2 inches each.

Please help!!!!
