Default ActiveX Controls Look Funky,..?

All,
I am starting out learning vba/vbe, but I am having problems controlling the
ActiveX control objects. When I insert buttons and boxes from the forms
toolbar, they work fine (except they don't have the same capabilities as
ActiveX controls), when I insert ActiveX controls, I am getting wierd font
behavior. When the object is selected, the text in the object looks fine.
But when I select a worksheet cell or another object, the font goes wierd.
Each letter in the text appears to get wider, so they run into eachother and
look weird. As the users selects different buttons, the text changes every
time. The problem seems to be limited to only my laptop, my desktop works
ok. To show what this looks like I posted a screen dump here showing excel
running objects on both my laptop and my desktop:

Does anyone know what this is or how to fix it?
Thanks,
NB
