Imported "If Message" dialogs broken in Windows 2003.

<IF MESSAGE Caption="Path type" Message="Do you want the entire path or just the file name?" BtnMode="\x03" TrueButton="Name only" FalseButton="Path" Default="TRUE" Left="Center" Top="Center" Monitor="0" Delay="00000" _ENABLED="FALSE"/>

This "If Message" which works in ME3 was imported into MEP and results in a dialog box that looks like this:

Notice the button areas are transparent seeing thru to the MEP Explorer on the other side. I ran this same command in Vista and it works fine but in Windows Server 2003 via Terminal Services it fails and MEP destabilizes and eventually Windows steps in and does it's crashed program reporting routine. I created a simple "If Message" from scratch in the same session and it works fine. Luckily I was able to determine the root of the problem. Notice that the delay of the imported macro is not zero but rather "00000". I changed this value to zero and it now works fine.
