PowerCobol form all jumbled up

I have been programming in Fujitsu PowerCobol for 4 or 5 years. Now using V6. I have a problem I've never seen before. I program and run on Windows PCs which are networked.

I have a form created in a project. The form displays fine on my development machine just fine (Win2000). It runs and displays fine on another machine that uses XP. When I execute the program on another XP computer, the form height/width are changed, and all the controls on the form are in mixed up positions. Fonts are all mixed sizes. Buttons are mixed sizes. Just a mess.

On that same XP computer, all my other forms work and are used every day, so its not the runtime installation or the comptuter's hardware.

The affected form works fine on other PCs, not just this one, so it would seem the program itself is OK.

Sounds like some kind of compatibility bug, but I've never seen it before.

HELP!

What is the ScaleMode property on the Coordinates tab of the form and controls set to? We've had trouble when this is set to pixels vs 1/20th points, particularly on laptops that have wide screens.
