Odd problem with InputBox

[news.microsoft.com]

hey all, I am having an odd problem with the InputBox in VB.NET, and it ONLY
happens on one of my computers. When I try "Dim x as String =
InputBox("TESTPROMPT"), I get the following error:

Hello,

hey all, I am having an odd problem with the InputBox in VB.NET, and it ONLY
happens on one of my computers. When I try "Dim x as String =
InputBox("TESTPROMPT"), I get the following error:

What version of .NET do you use? What operating system?

I do not recommend to use the InputBox function because it doesn't properly
localize the buttons' captions for other languages than English (.NET 1.0).

Regards,
Herfried K. Wagner

Sorry, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, both 1.0 and 1.1 of the .Net Framework.
Is there a different single line solution you would use for user input?
