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("TESTP ROMPT"), 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).

Re: Odd problem with InputBox

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?
