I vaguely recall an M$ DLL that needs to be placed in the application folder for 2000 and 98se. This replaces the system32 DLL with the calls required for XP style graphics.
Something like comctl32.dll. I don't know if you can drop the XP one in or there is a specific one on the net.

This looks really really ugly. Does anyone know why this is so?
