    Never Mind, I just solved my own problem (I was missing a dll for the API module) Sorry!

      I get the same error message. Which dll do I need?

        Just got done sovling this problem. Here's what you do. Type "ppm" don't know what it is or what it does, but it makes things work. type "install win32-api" It should then exstract stuff and load stuff. Type "q" to exit. should work.
