The difference is the resolution of 120dpi (or higher) *in combination* with "UseHR" set to "1". Its not only 120dpi. You cannot see the problems without manipulating the registry. Some laptops have this setting turned on by default, others don't. As this topic is forked in three or four threads, it is a little bit confusing; Kristin already has attached some fixes I suggested she said, so maybe its not an issue here anymore. And we did not get any confirmation by Kristin that the reporter actually had used a high dpi screen on what laptop. In general, with the setting discussed here [1] http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa770067.aspx [2] http://www.brunildo.org/test/IE_UseHR.html users may experience some surprises. For example, on some pages that use the Onetruelayout or similar solutions for equal height columns. Something is going badly wrong when IE tries to scale the -32000px/+32000px margin/padding thing. Columns are pulled up beyond the upper viewport edge into the void. Preliminary tests show, assuming 196dpi is the highest possible value for XP, that -16000/+16000px is a safer scaleable value for it. Don't have Vista to test with. Or, on Kristin's original page, the background images were scaled, but containers without haslayout did not scale. More issues are discussed by Bruno in [2]. And so on. Read the linked pages, turn the UseHR on, and surf a while on css layouts to see what I mean. I don't know what laptops have this UseHR turned on by default and if the manufacturers are still using it. But IE is not usable with these settings, I'd say.
