Unfortunately I can't find any drivers for your monitor, or any information about whether it can do scaling (adapt to different aspect ratios).
What video card do you have? Even if your monitor can't do scaling, your video card may be able to. So your husband may be right about looking for different video drivers.
I don't own the game, so I can't check to see if there's a file you can edit to change the video properties. If you're not able to get a picture on the screen, you can't adjust the game's video options unless you can find a file to edit.
