Use setVisible to turn the display of a control on or off rather than
overpaint it.

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)
