Anchor problems with XP

[Rayearth]

Hi all

I'm having problems with using anchors to automatically resize controls in
runtime with VB.net. In my development environment, I run Win2k and all the
anchoring works fine, but once I have the application deployed on WinXP
clients running in XP styles, all the controls become larger than the form
that
contain them. Even if I have the scrollbars set on auto, they won't show
up.
I've tried changing the XP machines back to "classic style" but still no
avail.

Someone pointed out it might be the 96/120dpi problem, but I checked that
all clients were using 96dpi... Also, the clients are running Chinese WinXP
while I developed the program in English Win2k - not sure if that has
anything to do with it though...

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks in advance.
