Maybe you do have the offsets incorrect. Here is wha I make them to be...

typedef struct _devicemode {    /* dvmd */
  0    TCHAR  dmDeviceName[32];
 32    WORD   dmSpecVersion;
 34    WORD   dmDriverVersion;
 36    WORD   dmSize;
 38    WORD   dmDriverExtra;
 40    DWORD  dmFields;
 44    short  dmOrientation;
 46    short  dmPaperSize;
 48    short  dmPaperLength;
 50    short  dmPaperWidth;
 52    short  dmScale;
 54    short  dmCopies;
 56    short  dmDefaultSource;
 58    short  dmPrintQuality;
 60    short  dmColor;
 62    short  dmDuplex;
 64    short  dmYResolution;
 66    short  dmTTOption;
 68    short  dmCollate;
 70    TCHAR  dmFormName[32];
102    WORD   dmUnusedPadding;
104    USHORT dmBitsPerPel;
106    DWORD  dmPelsWidth;
110    DWORD  dmPelsHeight;
114    DWORD  dmDisplayFlags;
118    DWORD  dmDisplayFrequency;
122    (sizeof)
} DEVMODE

This is why I use the allot(), fetch() and store() routines in win32lib. These
do the math for me.
