Transparent bitmap

I have been working on a program that needs to have a bitmap that was drawn by the user turn into a transparent bitmap to lay over the rest of the form.

I use Bitmap->Transparent=true and it works just fine when I use my computer or the other desktop that I have access to, but when I try to run it on 5 different laptops; all running XP pro, the bitmap loses it's transparency. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is?
 
Set the display properties for the laptop and see if you are using ClearType for the fonts. I don't know why but sometimes this helps.
