I have made a simple software using VB.net and Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2008.

After finishing the project i compiled it using its built in visual studio setup and deployment.

It works great when i installed it to my 1st computer. (Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 Bit)

However to my surprise when i installed it to another computer with (Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 Bit)

Changes on my crystal report project appeared, Some columns are missing for example i column 1 to 10 can be seen on my 1st computer but to another computer it doesn't column 8 to 10 seems like fields doesn't fit with my report.

Also some of the objects on my VB>NET forms overlap. Let say on 1st computer projects main form has two buttons that is arranged properly however on the other computer that 1 of the button overlaps another

Does anyone here encountered this problem already and knows what seems to be wrong?

Seams like a visualization problem. Are the visualization settings equal on both computers ?

Found out that if you haven't set crystal report default page size it will be based on client work station default printer settings
