User interface problem

I am using VS .NET 2003. I am developing on a Win XP PRO system. I created a VB program that has a FolderBrowserDialog
input box. I display the box twice, once with the 'create new folder' button disabled, and once with that button enabled.

On my system, and a Winn2003 server XP system, everything works fine.

When I test\deploy this program on any other system other then an XP system, things do not work correctly, (in regards to the FolderbrowserDialog box). The 'create new folder' button, either does not show when I ask it to, or shows when I do not want it to. I have also noted that the text description on top that I selected to display, wraps onto two lines on the other systems.

Is there a work around for this?

I am new to .NET, and this is my first project. Does it have anything to do with the .DLLs that are included in the project, (Scrrrun.dll, and shell32.dll). I do not think so, because I have tried creating the project, and deployed it, without including them.

An additional question here. When building I get a message that these should not be included in the project as the source is system32. I leave them in the application folder on the target system. I am assuming that this means that if anything from these Dll's is needed, that my program first searches the application folder, and used these files there. I had actually tried putting them in the system32 folder on the target system, (win NT4), and blew it up, (recovered from Ghost). But obviously that did not clear up the button problem.

Is it not necessary to distribute these dll's to the target system, because whatever I need\have programmed into my exe, is already in the .Net framework that is required on any system that a .Net project is installed on?

Thanks
