Ugh, premiere keeps adding black bars

i haven't edited anything in a few years, but I've just spent the last 2 months trying to get back into it. first I had a bunch of problems with Vista and Virtual Dub, among other crap that I just don't have patience for (and why its taken me 2 months to come this far)...but now I am getting a little annoyed with my current problem...

I have just installed Premiere CS3 and imported a few clips that are 608x448. I edit them just fine, but when I export the movie, no matter what I change the file size to, 640x480, 720x480, 720x540, there is always a black bar on the top and bottom, squeezing the 4:3 footage into Widescreen. How do I get the full screen footage to stay full screen once I export?

What is your PAR setting? The default is 0.9 but you would probably wanna go with Square Pixles (1.0).

It worked!! How could I miss something so obvious? Well thanks, now I can get back to work on my 3rd (or is it 4th?) comeback.
