same display resolution, different displayed size

[Irv Rosenthal]

I have an application that runs a GUI at 640x480 screen
resolution. The GUI just fits the screen. This works OK
under Windows XP Pro. When I run it under Win XPe using
exact same motherboard hardware and same graphics driver,
the GUI is way too big for the screen. We are currently
using Intel 82865G based graphics.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Check if all visible fonts are installed.

This is a graphical interface, the whole display goes off
the screen cutting off about 25 percent of the image. I'm
not sure how to determine which fonts may or may not be
there?

Is this dialog based application?


If you are using lets say windows style, and if your start button is out of
screen.
Try calibrating monitor to accommodate current resolution.

The application is a C++ app with a user interface which
contains an active movie display window where we show
video and several items of text display along the right
side of the video window. It is almost all the text items
that are being pushed off the screen by the oversized
image. This is a fixed size image, it is not resizeable.
Again, this application runs perfectly if I install it on
Win XP Pro using the exact same physical machine. I know
for certain that the problem is related to XPE, I just
can't figure out what needs to be either changed or
included. I does seem that somethink is different about
the DPI of the display, but I am using the same monitor
that works on Pro.

I notice also, that the thread from Andy at Microsoft has
been removed from the NG, he never responded to my
question about which components affect DPI. He said he
thought that was the problem, then dropped out of sight.
