Window sizes and fonts changing on different machines

I have a program that I wrote in Delphi 2.01. It looks great on 3 of 4
machines that I tried it on. On the forth, however, the windows were
oversized so that it looked awful - all the controls were off to one
side. Also, the labels appeared to get smaller so that not all of the
text was visible.

What's going on here? Just as I write this, I remember something about
a screen autoscaling option that can be turned on or off. Will this
solve the problem?

Actually, I think the others were using large fonts. The big question
is how to gaurd against this sort of thing.

Try setting the forms Scaled property to false. It should do the trick.
