This code:
STILL does not work on my machine at work but does work on my machine at home.
I'm not surprised - if 1.22 didn't work there's no reason 1.24 should.
Unless you've got something to add to the issue for us to follow up, there's little we can do. For reasons probably only clear to an engineer somewhere deep in the bowels of Microsoft, your work machine can't run BlitzMax.
I'm moving this to programming for now - if you guys want to keep hunting for a possible cause/issue, please do!
If you can come up with something concrete ('BlitzMax doesn't work on Intel' does not count!) please post another bug report.
