Problem with compiling in Win 7

I have 2 PC’s at my desk. One is an old Windows XP machine, the other is a new Windows 7 PC.

I changed some Progress programs for a request I was given.

When I compile them on the Windows 7 PC, they do not run right on the XP PC. There are popups saying rectangle does not fit in parent dialog box. Things look fine on the Win 7 PC.

When I compile these programs on the XP PC, the programs run fine on both. No popups either place.

These Progress programs run on our server. When the compile is done, the .r goes to the server.

What could be causing this? Where do I look?

Thanks, Wayne

Progress version 9.
 
OK, it is fixed. I had the Win7 PC screen set to 125% (Because it is such small print.) But then we changed it to 100% and then recompiled the programs on the Win 7 PC. Now things work find both on Win7 and Win XP.

The only problem is that I have to look at such small print.
 
That's a known "feature" of Progress that the screen font sizes are resolved at compile time. That's especially nice when you need to deal with users working with different monitor sizes and different screen resolutions. You need to settle on the least common denominator for development ...
