Problems with WinForm an screen resolution

$

Hello everyone.  I have a form that is 300 x 734 and docks on the right side of the screen.  It works fine on Windows XP, Vista, and 7.  I just upgraded to a Windows 8 machine with a higher screen resolution (I'm assuming that's the problem), and now it displays funny on that machine.  It will cut off some buttons on the form, etc.  I really am not sure how best to fix this, since I don't want to change anything that would make it display incorrectly on Windows XP, Vista, 7 or with a different screen resolution...  I figured since everything in the form was either docked or anchored that there wouldn't be a problem like this.  Additionally, in Visual Studio 2012 (I upgraded from 2008) on the new Windows 8 machine, the form in the designer has changed from 300 x 734 to 409 x 917?  I don't really understand why that would be at all...

So, I'm hoping that someone can suggest how I can resolve this...  I don't want to do anything that will mess with the look for the other machines...  But at the same time it should display properly in Windows 8 as well...

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.  I'm really pulling my hair out.  Nothing I do seems to help...
