Unable to locate a VML newsgroup (Vector Markup Language) so I hope I can
find the answer here.
I have what I beleive to be a strange bug which I cannot resolve.
I have created a method of using arc to draw a performance dial, the URL
below will show you the results.
http://www.websamba.com/macroman/home.htm
I have pasted the images in so you can see the before and after.
The left image is exactly how it is displayed on my PC , yet on some PC's at
work it looks awful (right image)
I cannot for the life of me think what is causing this.
The Explorer is V6, and both have VML installed, I checked the Windows
registry and the keys were identical.
What I can say that on my works PC this Monday it looked like image on the
left, until Tuesday my workstation decided to re-install MS Word.
We are using MS Office 2000 at work and are running under Windows NT. I
don't know if you know anything about networked PC's I know next to nothing.
If it helps we logon to a network and our profile settings are downloaded ,
the application are assigned to us in Novell Apps, and if the App is not on
the workstation we are logged into then it will install to that workstation.
I have logged into Workstation #1 (mine) and the dial looks terrible now,
log onto Workstation #2 and the dial looks good, so I am almost convinced
that something on my workstation at work has changed and it is not my
profile settings.
Our PC's at work are on a network and I do not have administration rights,
my use and knowledge of VML is very basic at the moment and the solution
maybe to cleanse the VML syntax so I have included that below.

It would be interesting to know if you copy the code above into notepad save
as HTML then how does it look , like left image or right image (URL above)
I honestly am at a loss and any assistance you could give me would be very
welcome
