Windows Forms Drawing Issue

I have a very strange issue. I have written a Dot Net application in VB.Net.
When the application is run on some laptops the Forms are painted strangely.
Labels are much wider then they were when the application was developed. This
causes the labels to over lap the textboxes that are next to them. The laptop
in question is running a ATI Radion 7500 graphics card with the latest driver
installed. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a known issue?

Hi,

Are you using a font that isn't installed on the laptops? Good luck! Ken.

Hi Nick,

Try setting the AutoScale property of the forms to false.

HTH,
