[quote=Kagrith]You needa go back to an old computer because maplestory runs in an 800x600 resolution and depending on your computer resolution the bars will be there or not, no way to fix it[/quote]

The black bars depends on how you set your graphic card settings to scale full screen applications. You do not need to go back to an old computer to do so.

[quote=lloydude09]What are you guys talking about? o.o This is the easiest way to do it. Start up maple. Go on your character. Click system, system options, and there should be by the top like 800x 1600 or something selected. Pick the other choice, click accept or whatever, and viola! It's all better.[/quote]

The reason why this doesn't work is because no matter what resolution your set it to in MS (800x600 or 1024x768), the Aspect Ratio of MS will still be 4:3, while his monitor is still 16:10 or 16:9. This is what causes the bars on the site. Like I stated above, you need to make your computer ignore the AR of the game and fully scale/stretch the game across the screen.

If for some reason you don't have that option, you may also be able to do it by uninstalling your current graphic driver and installing the latest driver for it. Chances are, the default settings of the driver will have it enable.

I think it depends on what your processor is.

For mine it's:
Right Click on Desktop>Graphic Options>Panel Fit>Full Screen
