bin executable producing unexpected results

Hi everyone

Firstly, I am not sure that I have used the correct tag - because I am not even sure about what subject to use.

This is not (I think) necessarily a code problem.

I have written a number of VB2010 .net programs and I run the executable from the /bin directory when running the programs from a file server.

The programs work perfectly on about 20 laptops and/or desktops except to 2 computers.

The problem
-----------

On just 2 computers, any program that uses a location property for a control does not locate the control at the correct location.
On of the programs places a jpeg picture within a Excel spreedsheet at a given location, but when running on these two computers the location is again incorrect.

All the computers are running either Win XP or Win 7 with .net 4.0 installed.

Could anyone give me some hint as to what I possibly could look at on the 2 computers to try and get this working?

I appreciate the absurdity of what I am asking, but don't really how to ask the question and even less when to go to try and solve my problem.

In advance, thanks very much.

have you compared the resolution of the systems giving issue with the one where the application is working fine?

Can you write a bare minimum application that exhibits the problem?
By bare minimum I mean the smallest possible application that still manages to reproduce the problem.

I'd check regional settings - this is often the cause of weird behaviour, though I don't know what could cause such effect (right to left text direction? :) ). Also, could it be that these computers use standard windows magnification of 100/125/150%?
