I had the same kinds of problems when I used 
the Win32lib but, not anymore.

You need to first read up on Menu's and how to
change the fonts for the menuitems to be consistant with
user selected screen fonts.

Then read up on textmetrics so you can poke the values you
want for the fonts to be consistant throughout the window.

Some how the controls are pushed down or up on the
window depending on the font characteristics setup
by the user. My guess is that the screen resolution on
you laptop is different from you desktop or you use
large fonts on one and not the other.

Its a arguous task that will envolve several hours reading
the MS-SDK and writting the fix.

Sorry, Im not going to have my lib finished for a mnth or two.
but it will contain a procedure to set a consistant size font
on any of the major screen resolutions and user setup.
