missing collapse button and close / minimize (MSG LIVE)

I am missing the Collapse / Minimize / Close buttons (the Msg Live ones
NOT the windows ones).

I used the same install file on two computers one has the buttons one
doesn't!

I had MSg 7.5 + MSG PLUS 3! installed when I upgraded. (have tried
removing and reinstalling no diff...!) and the buttons arn't there. I
want to collapse to the windows vista style messenger (no windows
borders).

The one it worked ot never had messenger plus... till I installed
MSGPlus LIVE after.... is this the diff??

also have a patched theme file (for custom XP themes)

let me know (email me if you have any idea)
