I've discovered two workarounds, besides turning it off and on which means you have to reset your settings: 1. If you toggle between 4:3 and 16:9 and back with the remote, the black stripe is reset. 2. Apparently, if you leave the cheesy animation effects enabled (setup button on the remote, photo, transition), it prevents the problem.

Evidently, this Coby frame can only access the first approximately 512 files on the memory card. Still no firmware update available. Losers. TNO!
