Win7 resizes form developed on Win8

I'm developing an application with Visual Studio 2010 on Win8.  Everything works fine.  When I install this application on my laptop running Win7 the form is resized. I display the following in a MessageBox in the Load event handler:

int w = this.Size.Width;

int h = this.Size.Height;

Thinking the problem is a display resolution issue (they are different) I resize the display resolution on the Win8 desktop.  Still works fine.  The form is not resized.

I updated the laptop from .NET Framework 4.0 to 4.5.  This did not change the behavior.

The end result is I am unable to get the form to display in the same pleasing way on the Win7 laptop as it does on the Win8 desktop.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
