The second to top post in the BlitzMax GUI Programming section (Well the top post is you exclude the skicky explains this.

You add Import MaxGui.Drivers

I agree the exaples should run, but you could have looked before bug reporting

Runs fine for me

You downloaded the current everything?

Plus when you get an error it normaly is on one line, and strange as it may seem, WHICH LINE/command gives the error tells us a lot more than you think

it outputs this code and stops at the line...

Im out of ideas. I will post what I can "see" but I dont think it will be helpfull

The unhandeld eception error is (I think) part of the print command, which is sending the print the output window (NOT the maxGUI window)
If I just run

While True
WaitEvent 
Print CurrentEvent.ToString()
Select EventID()
Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
End
End Select
Wend

Which as you see has no MaxGUI it still works on mine. Does it still work on yours? If so its not a GUI problem

yeah..this code works on mine....

I have not installed any mods before now....

seemed straight forward...download/unzip and copy to module folder..

some guys on the forum talk of rebuiling/compiling mods..

could that be something i need to do..?

I think only if you have rebuilt the the rest. However do you have the last GUI from here? Or the last public one from the other site?

it came from sourceforge and is 142 beta vers

In your "c:\blitzmax\mod" folder the subfolder name should be:
"maxgui.mod"
Within that folder, the subfolders:
"cocoamaxgui.mod"
"drivers.mod"
...
"win32maxgui.mod"

To rebuild modules, press Ctrl+D in the BMX IDE, or select "rebuild modules" from the system menu. Then wait until it's compiled.
If that doesn't help, try enabling debug mode, also from the IDE menu, to see if you get a more descriptive error message.

cheked files in directory all present.....

cant rebuild modules....ctrl + d has no effect...

in programs menu the build & rebuild modules are not hilighted..

Ah, do you have (the right version of) MinGW installed? I had trouble with that when I switched to Blitzmax.
Edit:
This links can maybe help, easiest first:

You dont have to rebuild if you have never rebuilt before IF you have a built MaxGUI.
Now I know it is free ATM, but I bought it so I still use the last one released as a paid for product (1.41). AS such I dont know if the sourceforge one is prebuilt or not.

As Warner said you need the right (well one of the right) MinGW.

Sorry I couldnt be more helpful
