The issue described involves LaTeX code displaying normally on a desktop with Windows XP but appearing as unreadable text in a small black window on a laptop running Windows 2000. The primary solution suggested is to check the browser being used, with recommendations to use Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6, or Chrome for better compatibility. The mention of using Internet Explorer 6 indicates potential compatibility issues with older browsers. Ensuring the correct browser version may resolve the display problem.

On my desktop running Windows XP, the LaTeX code appears normal but on my laptop running Windows 2000, the same thing appears in a small black window with disjointed white text that is unreadable. Is this a known problem with a known solution? Do I have to install something?

It's more-so what browser you are using. Make sure you have either IE8, FF3.6, or Chrome.
 
That's probably it. I use IE6. Thanks.
