Black bar on bottom of my monitor only where previous blue bar was?

Horizontal black bar/space on top and bottom of my monitor which is connected to my apple macbook why?

I am running on Windows XP by the way. Horizontal black bar/space on top and bottom of my monitor which is connected to my apple macbook why? Its like if I go into control panel and modify the settings to make it fit the resolution will look wierd and task bar will be all big etc. I can only get the screen to look normal when the black bars there. Is there a way I can get the screen/browser windows to fill up the whole monitor and still have everything look normal?
Answer:

You probably have your display resolution set to a widescreen format. Go to control panel, display properties, settings tab, and change your resolution
