Delphi 6, small windows do not open in full on Windows 2000, Dell Latitude C850 laptop

L.S.,

At this momenet I am facing the following problem:
Small windows appear to small, so scroll bars appear or the window appears
just to small.

Other Windows applications function well on this laptop.

Maybe somebody has faced this problem already and can help me to fix it.

Operating system: Windows 2000
Laptop: Dell Latitude C850

The small windows, like a log on screen, appears to small. For example the
background of the Log on screen appears smaller than the expected window
size. If we run this programm on Windows 98 or an XP laptop, no problems
appear.

Next the sofware programm does not remember the right place on the screen.
On the XP machine this programm opens this form exactly on the same place as
this form was closed before. On the Windows 2000 laptop it appears in the
middle of the screen.

P.S.: if I change the resolution for the screen it does not help.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Willem van Wijngaarden

My personal solution is to:

- develop with small fonts
- set the Form Scaled property to False
- set the DesktopFont property True in the OnCreate method
- leave plenty of space for the large string size in Large Fonts
- be sure to have at least one beta tester who uses the Large Fonts
Windows setting

I develop with Delphi 5.  Perhaps this will help?

Cheers,
David
