Chrome under Windows 2003 Server

Chrome works well under Windows 2003 server except in one small case. When composing an email in Gmail when you press tab the "Send" button should highlight and it doesn't. This is because the Theme engine is using the Windows Classic style. In order to change this run the Theme service (Start>>Run>>services.msc>>find "Themes" and change it to "Automatic" startup type and press start). The Display Properties "Appearance" tab for "Windows and buttons" will now allow you to change it to "Windows XP style". This style shows the highlighted buttons.
