Works fine here

$Version

5.1 for Mac OS X (October 25, 2004)

A={{a11,a12},{a21,a22}};

B={{b11,b12},{b21,b22}};

Inverse[A].B

{{(a22*b11)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21) - 
    (a12*b21)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21), 
   (a22*b12)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21) - 
    (a12*b22)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21)}, 
  {(a11*b21)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21) - 
    (a21*b11)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21), 
   (a11*b22)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21) - 
    (a21*b12)/(a11*a22 - a12*a21)}}
