Check that the Scaled property of your forms is false.
When it's true the VCL adapts the form depending on the screen's dpi.
(that are set from the screen panel: do you remember small chars/big
chars?). This is a problem with form's containing objects because they
are all scaled and moved (= scrollbars everywhere, toolbars with out
of screen buttons, etc...).
When it's false the form doesn't change.

> Hello,

> I am writing C++ builder applications on my desktop which is running
Windows 2000. The forms of some of my applications displayed fine on
my desktop, but not on the PCs running other operating systems,
especially on the Windows XP. The form will be too small and I have to
use the scroll bars to see the whole form.  I have made sure that the
screen resolutions are same on all PCs, but the problems still exist.
Did I forget to set some form properties? I am using C++ Builder
version 5. Thanks!
