Try another browser as a quick experiment - firefox or opera, perhaps.

Is the problem still there?

Your wide screen monitor will need a resolution with the correct aspect ratio, otherwise it will simply stretch the picture to fill the screen.

Somewhere in your documentation you will find the resolution of the monitor. You now need to set your video adaptor to match, as follows:
Right-click on a clear area of the screen
Choose Properties
Click on the Settings tab
Slide the screen resolution slider until the numbers underneath match those in your documentation.
Click OK
