Dialog doesnt display properly without aero

Question

i have a application i have been making a for a while now using C++/Win32 and when i create my first dialog it shows up weird when i dont have aero enabled or i am not using windows 7/8.

here is a screenshot of what it looks like:

This is my last resort, as i have no idea why this is doing it. It only happens to the first dialog i make, after the user logs in the rest of the dialogs are fine. It works just fine with aero.

here is my dialog resource script

I wanted to leave a comment asking you why you have WS_EX_TRANSPARENT in the EXSTYLE, but I don't have enough reputation points for that, so I'll just have to make this into an answer. Try leaving out WS_EX_TRANSPARENT. I wrote a little program with a dialog box and the dialog box looked very strange with WS_EX_TRANSPARENT and normal without it.
