LoadLibrary Runtime Error

Well I wasn't sure where to post this, but anyways, I just tried testing my game but I got an error saying that it got a runtime error loading a dll that I'm using to change the game's resolution. Now that's not the main reason why I'm posting this, the reason is because I just tested my game a couple days ago or whenever it was I worked on it last, and many times before that and changed nothing that had to deal with the dll, and now I get this error, and the strange thing is, I've had this before and after a few minutes or so I stopped getting the error some how. What I want to know is why I'm getting this runtime error and how I could possibly fix it. Just curious though, has anyone else here ever gotten this problem before when loading a dll?
 
I already have an error log script, and it's just saying its a runtime error and that it's saying LoadLibrary: Display.dll, the name of the dll it's trying to load, which it seems it can't at the moment for some reason.

Also I never changed anything in any scripts and it just didn't work for me even though it did last test play I did before tonight, that's why this is really weird.
 
i remember when netplay was first going on there was an unexplainable error people were getting, it wasnt all the time. But occaisionally it did come about. I never heard of a soltuion, they passed it off as, 'tough luck'.
 
Well I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't load the dll at all, it'll load other dll's just not that one, even though that it worked before until recently and I didn't do anything to it that would not allow it to load. I know it's not my project either, because I tested BlueScope's custom resolution demo and I got the same problem with that, so I really have no clue as to why it's not loading this particular dll right now when it has before in the past without any problems.
