Count function not displaying result properly on report

I have a report that uses the count function in the footer of the report. At 1024x768, the results are displayed correctly. At 800x600, the results are displayed correctly on my machine, but not on other machines. On other machines, any total that is more than one character is displayed as '-01' regardless of what the total really is. Does anyone have an idea about what could be causing this? The textboxes that display the numbers are very narrow, and they cannot be made any wider.
 
It's because your text box isn't wide enough. The best I can offer is to make the font size 6 and see if that helps, but then it's probably illegible anyhow...

The text boxes are as wide as they can be on the report and the font is already set to 6.

Thanks, though.
 
There's really no other solution--it's just a display thing.

What it really says in the box that you can't see is some number exponantially written, i.e.

3.6 E-01
