Display Resolution issue?

Hi, I have a simply 'one main screen' vb.net application. This works
fine on most machines...however on the new wide screen laptops and
also on some flat screen monitors the screen does not automatically
size itself correclty..i.e. the right hand side of the screen gets
cut
off.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?
Many Thanks
Marc

Setting the font to large font (120dpi) causes this problem. Set fonts back
to 96dpi

Well, isn't it better to modify the application to work with different DPI
settings ('AutoScale', etc.)? Yes, I know that this is a bit painful with
Windows Forms.
