I'm having a problem with image sizes, we're using C Builder 6.
My application imports a BMP graph to use as a background for part of a form. On most computers everything is fine. On one computer (the monitor is much smaller than other computers), the graph is approximatly 20% smaller when compared to everthing else on the form. On the computers that work properly, we've tried different resolutions to try to duplicate the problem and can't.

Any ideas?
 
This could be a DPI problem. With the introuction of high res monitors/vga cards most graphics drivers now have the option to adjust the dpi (Display Properties/Settings/Advanced/Dpi Settings) the standard is 96 dpi but if you want to run a high resolution and want your text and icons to still appear big enough to read you would set your DPI to 120 (or custom) this can screw up the layout of many programs unless you grab the DPI on initialisation and size all the forms, pannels, images accordingly.. A right pain in the ass.....
