One difference between you and your brothers system might be the large/small/tiny font settings or the windows scheme even. It tends to be dismally disappointing when you finally figure out what the actual difference is, in these sort of cases. If I were in your position, I would take pains to make every possible thing different between the two machines, so you double the testing. I would not be asking "Why the difference?", but instead be thinking "What can I write that works acceptably on both?" (but then, I'm not you, and I'll add that it's fine to ask such questions here) Pete
