Need help with old photo software, need to replace or force custom resolution

Hey guys. So my dad runs a photography company that uses this 15 year old software called Pcpro. Basically as he takes photos, they are dumped into a folder, and Pcpro has a line at the top of the most recent photos, so you can click them and compare which is the best, then slap a border on, and print. Its very simple, but theres one problem. As its 15 years old, it was developed in a time where all monitors were 4:3, and its locked to that aspect ratio. As a result, on laptops, the bottom of the screen is cut off:

Here, you can see what its supposed to look like:

That purple computer icon at the bottom contains vital menu options, and the software is useless without access to it. And it needs to be able to be used on a laptop.
So, i need something that can force custom aspect ratios on laptops, (even if it means black bars on the sides) or perhaps add a scroll bar to the side of the program, or newer software that accomplishes the same task. Any ideas?

One of the most popular free photo editing programs is Gimp, I also like Fotor.

But being a professional photographer, you may want a high quality program like Corel paintshop pro x6 or cyberlink photo director
