Hi guys, I don't suppose anyone can help me?

I'm close to finishing a website - it's not live so I can't post a link to show you guys. It looks fine on my computer and various others but sometimes it will look (what I can only describe as) zoomed out on various computers. It's not a browser problem as far as I know.

Here are 2 different printed screens, the first is how I see the site upon entering it, and the second is how another computer might see the site. I'm using a 19" monitor (1360x768) and the other computer is a smaller laptop (I'm assuming a smaller resolution?...)

I'd be very thankful if anyone can shed some light as to why it looks so zoomed out in the second image. It seems the space between the fold and the rest of the images is exagerated in the second link. (Also, the second image has misplaced buttons but that's rectified now).

Thanks.

It looks like a simple difference in display resolutions. Websites viewed in 1920x1080 will appear "zoomed out" compared to the same sites viewed in 1024x768 (where they will appear "zoomed in" or crammed). Images consume a fixed range of pixels. Since a larger display has more pixel space, it has more room.
