Yes, I have searched, and I found stuff about LoadLibrary() and FreeLibrary()....
Here is my code:
But I still get "cannot find DLL gamex86.dll" message....
Waht have I done wrong?
"\" is an escape character, which means whatever cmoes after it is treated as ascii and not some inbuilt command, so \\ will result in compiler putting in \ ...
I'm sure he knows that, I do as well... I just wanted to remove the initial slash.
Also, try putting MessageBox(NULL, szBuff, NULL, 0); before loading the library, it will show you the exact path it's trying to load it from. Maybe you'll see what's wrong this way.

I did strcat(szBuff,"base\\gamex86.dll"); and the directory shows up the way it is supposed to be on the MessageBox()
But it still doesnt work?

You appear to be linking to that dll statically:
#pragma comment(lib, "gamex86.lib")
In which case you cannot change the path. It must be in the working directory or system directories, or path directories.
edit - Remove that line and just load the dll dynamically.
