You forgot to "sync", add it before "wait 100" or delete the first sentence "sync on"

I've done the following with the code. Basically the screen was all blue because, when you grabed the image, your where overwriting the existing image that was there before, thus, haviong nothing to grab. Odd en enough, no error happened. The following code assures that every image grabed is stored within a different image number (which is the most common way of working this things out). Also deleted the animated sprite command.

+ Code Snippet

sync on
x = 290
y = 140
load image "C:\Documents and Settings\Zergei\Escritorio\test.jpg", 1

for r = 1 to 3
   for c = 1 to 8
      left = (c - 1) * 34 + (c - 1)
      top = (r - 1) * 34 + (r - 1)
      right = (c * 34) + (c - 1)
      bottom = (r * 34) + (r - 1)
      get image c+8*(r-1)+1, left, top, right, bottom
      sprite 1, x, y, 1
      sync
      wait 100
   next c
next r

wait key

It isn't working as you hope because you are grabbing areas of the screen which have nothing on them.
You have loaded an image but you are doing nothing with it. Either paste the image to the screen before grabbing or use an offscreen bitmap (a better choice).

Try this:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 5
x = 290
y = 140
rem load image "picstest.bmp", 1
load bitmap "Pic.bmp",1
ImageNo = 1

for r = 1 to 3
   for c = 1 to 8
      left = (c - 1) * 34 + (c - 1)
      top = (r - 1) * 34 + (r - 1)
      right = (c * 34) + (c - 1)
      bottom = (r * 34) + (r - 1)
      get image ImageNo, left, top, right, bottom,1 `1 added to the end for clearer image quality
		inc ImageNo
   next c
next r

delete bitmap 1

`Now display the sprites randomly
do
	for k = 1 to ImageNo - 1
		sprite k,rnd(608),rnd(448),k
	next k
	sync
loop


end
