I have a 4 year old 42" Dell HD TV. I have had no problems with it until now. My 2 year old daughter got her hands on the remote. Now I have horizontal black bars on the top and bottom of my screen when watching HD channels. I have tried changing the picture using the "size" button to toggle between standard, full screen and wide but nothing seems to work. Also, now non-hd channels fill up the whole screen where the didn't before. This happens when using the tv in DVI mode connected to a comcast HD box. When I watch blue ray dvds on HDMI mode, it fills the whole scrren. Please let me know if you know what I am doing wrong. Thanks a lot in advance.

Actually you should select Full Screen for what you need - it's the best setting if you don't mind the normal images being stretched. Wide will also work but sometimes the normal images will appear normal, not stretched - the image format here is done by the internal trigger from the signal.
The reset is for the image quality only, the format will be left untouched since there is no default setting.
