i was trying to run my ogre apps from the root..

and you know what happened?

yeah. delta 3d hijacked my setup.

debug output:

But I’m running an OGRE game.. ah. because CEGUIBASE_d.dll is found first in the delta3d folder, windows it tries to load IT, and because ogre came after in the path setting.. something got screwed up

so all i did was remove delta 3d fro the path setting, RESTART and voila, its fine
