I've been trying to eliminate the problem, and the following is the outcome:
* All Forms opened in Designer and saved on my laptop (resolution: 1680 * 1050, widescreen), these are the forms affected by not resizing appropriately on lower resolution computers
* If i go back to a machine, which has 1280 * 1024 resolution and save these forms through designer then the forms resize appropriately
* if I lower my resolution on the laptop to (1280 * 1024) and save the form through designer, it wouldn't resize appropriately
* Somehow, it doesn't like the widescreen.
Is there some VS2005 option to switch off adapting to the machine when saving the windows forms designers

Autoscale Property is set to Font and nope I've haven't altered it !
The problem seems to be the difference in development machines resolution that somehow makes the form designer adapt wierdly.
The same project loaded on old development desktop 1280 * 1024, forms designer changed and saved ..... works
where as on the laptop 1680 * 1050 doesn't !therefore any new forms i create don't resize properly neither do existing forms altered on the laptop, but those that haven't been altered on the laptop still work fine !

The most common cause of form sizing problems when switching resolutions or aspect ratios is due to the form's AutoScaleMode property being changed to something other than Font.
Have you changed the AutoScaleMode property of the form's in question If so, what have you changed it to, or what is it set to currently
