filerequest$ not working (win vista)

[ByteByter]

Code:
file$=filerequest$(True,"Pictures|*.bmp;*.jpg;*.png")
print file$,0,0
showscreen
mousewait

That is the code I was using to test filerequest$ function.
Produces a blank white screen, presumably due to a winapi call failure.
print function by itself works fine, but if I use the filerequest$ function then I can't get anything to print on screen afterwards.
kind of sad about this as I am trying to code a little app to make sprite descriptor files... oh well for now all just write them by hand.
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

This code works fine for me on windows XP

Hm.. Are you in fullscreen mode? It works on my Vista, too.

Nope, not in fullscreen.
