On my computer the X,Y position seems to be 800,600
but on another computer it is the screen size that
I specify! (1024,768) This is a major problem ... someone else
must have encountered this! THANKS

Can you give us a little more of an idea of what you are talking about? Are you just talking about screen sizes? What problem are you having?

I think what he means is, he's got the program set to something like full screen desktop or whatever and the program is automatically sized to 800x600 on his computer but 1024x768 on another computer

Dude go into settings on the project manager and specify a resolution OR just use set display mode x,y,bitdepth

But the better way is to use percentage values rather than actual values for example if you need to place a HUD in the centre down the bottom of the screen you'd use something like

No.. they aren't..

Desktop's P(x,y) can be different on different computers (because the resolution)..
We could say the same thing about P(x,y) inside a DBP's window..

800x600x32 is 800x600x32 on any screen (which supports this resolution, else it would
not even run)..

The worst foe lies within the self..
