I found some pointers on a 3D game, and tried on a different computer, it didn't work.
So I re-found pointers on the other computer and they were not the same, but the offset was. The address was static (green).
Any ideas what could cause this?

Different game versions would cause this. The offsets would stay the same but the static base changes.
Try pc 1 and find what accesses your address. Take that accessed address and copy it to pc 2 memory viewer. Right click it and find what addresses access those instructions. Your address should show if both pc games have the same version.
If it works but you're still unable to find a pointer to work for both pc's, try alittle code injection.

i suspect that the environment of software system can sometimes affect address of a pointer. such as, with CE running in background or without CE running. even if the game is totally the same and the PC is the same one.

Pointers can also change dinamically. Usually they are not working on another computer, op. system or even if You change Your directX version etc. So they are basically useless if You want to make a cheat which is working on every computer with more op. systems. As Pingo suggested, try code injection.
