I don;t know if it is in any way related, but I had a problem with 
disabled buttons in WinXP when I built the app in another OS. The 
buttons were actually disabled but they looked normal, so it was purely 
a visual glitch. Transferring the stack file to a WinXP system and 
doing the build there, without making any changes, fixed it all up.

So my recommendation would be to borrow an XP system and build for XP 
using that.
