Hi NoNameAtAll,

I'm afraid it's hard to say what's causing this without more information. Could you provide a screenshot of the message or describe what is sending the message and what does the message read?

Regards,

-Devin

I suspect that maybe you put the SightHound executable in the Start folder instead of a "Shortcut" to the executable the "Programs Files (x86)/SightHound Video" folder; which is where the library files (".dll") are located.

Programs cannot find their libraries unless they are in the Windows sub-directory tree or in the same folder as the executable itself.
