By any chance was the laptop where the graphic originally looked fine the
same machine on which you developed the stack? Is it possible that you set
the filename of the image rather than actually importing the image into your
stack? If so, the image file would need to be in the same location on the
other machines as on your original machine, or it would not be displayed. If
you are using external images this way, it's best to set a relative path for
them so that they can always be found, and (of course) include those images
when you install on another machine.
