I have a windows app that runs correctly in my PC that is 96DPI but when I use it on a PC that has 120DPI the forms transform and all their components scramble.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.

It sounds like you need to use dynamic layout in your forms. You can use AutoSize, Docking/Anchoring, Padding, Margin, TableLayoutPanel, FlowLayoutPanel, etc, to structure your form so the actual positioning of your controls is done at run-time instead of compile-time. That way, your form will retain its layout even when the DPI is different. “Programming Microsoft Windows Forms” by Charles Petzold is a good book on Windows Forms. Chapter 3 of that book is full of information about how to use dynamic layout.
