Getting the game to display widescreen

I am coming to HOMM3 from a long break. I have the Complete version from GoG. Whenever I boot up the game, it's displaying in classic 4:3 aspect ratio. When I was playing before, the game's aspect ratio would be such that it filled my entire 16:9 monitor's screen. I much prefer the way that looked. No matter what setting I try to adjust I can't seem to get HOMM 3 to display widescreen.

Given that HOMM3 was originally a 4:3 game I thought I might be misremembering, but I've tried HOMM2 as well as several of the Chronicles titles and those are all booting straight into widescreen.

Can anyone help me adjust some setting somewhere to get back to a 16:9 display?
