Dilation produces translation and doesn't work

edit savecancel

Whenever I use dilation, the result contains no dilation, but is simply the input image, that is translated (moved) downward to the right. I do not get any errors during compilation or runtime. Using the exact same code, my friend gets the correct result. AFAIK, his setup is identical to mine. His hardware is also the same. Obviously, something is wrong with my installation, and I want to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My setup:

• Windows 7 ultimate (64-bit)
• Visual C++ 2010 Express
• OpenCV 2.4.3 (downloaded, not built)

I have included the code below, and the getBuildInformation.

#include <opencv\cv.h>
#include <opencv\highgui.h>

int main(){
    cv::Mat image = cv::imread("C:\\OpenCV2.4.3\\doc\\opencv-logo.png",0);

    cv::imshow("1", image);
    cv::imwrite("1.png",image);

    cv::threshold(image,image,200,255,1);

    cv::imshow("2", image);
    cv::imwrite("2.png",image);

    cv::dilate(image, image, cv::Mat(cv::Size(50,50),CV_8UC1));

    cv::imshow("3", image);
    cv::imwrite("3.png",image);

    printf("%s",cv::getBuildInformation());

    for(;;){
        if(cv::waitKey(1) >= 0) return 0;
    }
    return 0;
}
