here's my error now, i put the dll in the main directory, and at the beginning of my main function, i put:

dll_open("render2texture.dll");

and......dah da da daaaahh

error, can't load render2texture.dll

i've tried different ways of doing it, even using folders and loading from it using "c:\\folder\\render2texture.dll" and i get the same thing

edit: i should mention i only get this problem with render2texture.dll, none other
