The problem you guys are having sounds suspiciously like an Aspect Ratio
problem. You need to set the aspect ratio BEFORE you begin your drawing.
The Aspect Ratio defines the ratio of width to height of figures 
on screen. 

Depending on what version of P'brush you have, "Adj. Aspect" may be
on the Misc menu, or somewhere else. 

Squares and circles many times won't be WYSIWYG if you've 
got them set up correctly for your PRINTER, and not the screen. 
It's kind of a trial and error thing.

I recommend you call the Microsoft Hardware product support folks for
further information on any peculiarities....like, if you have a printer
or monitor not on the Supported Hardware list at the back of 
the manual.
