Windows XP: message box with no other GUI does not work

A program which issues message boxes with no conventional graphical user interface and has worked on previous versions of Euphoria does not now produce any output unless a suitable DLL is opened. The following program opens a suitable DLL and works. However, if the open_dll statement is commented out it does not produce a message box.
include std\dll.e open_dll("comdlg32.dll") -- or "EuWinGUI.DLL" or "libwxeu.dll" or "Graphics.dll" include std\win32\msgbox.e message_box("Trying\nmessage_box","Trial",MB_OK)
I am using Euphoria version 4.0.0
The DLL doesn't even need to be used and most DLLs do not make it work.
I realise that my Windows XP system has also changed, so could someone else with an up-to-date Windows XP system try it and see if it gives similar results?
