Large Fonts causes BGImage to Tile

I have an application with a splash screen. My splash screen consists primarily of a background image. The form is sized correctly so that the image displays nicely. I have to keep the form at a certain size so the user won't see the image tiling on the background (there is no stretch property for a background image).

Here's the problem: When I place this form on another machine with Large Fonts selected, the form is made larger by the OS and the user can now see the image tiling around the edges. The machine I'm developing on has Small Fonts selected, so I didn't notice this problem at first.

I don't recall having a problem like this with VB 6. Has anyone else run into this? Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Dave Robinder, MCSD
