Please help a poor noob!

#1 Post by haloheroine »

>.<'
I just downloaded Renpy today and was very happy with it. I also almost finished a really short game. I closed Renpy and J-edit so i could make my sprites, but when i tried to open Renpy again the following error came up:
"The specified module could not be found. LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed"
Im sorry if this problem has come up a thousand times already, but I really wanna fix this! Can anyone help?

This happens if python25.dll is missing. I don't know why it would be there one second and gone the next, however. I'd suggest re-downloading Ren'Py, unpacking it in a different place, and copying your game over.
