Problem with Irrlicht 0.7 DLL

Hi, I've posted already about this problem before, I'm wondering if anybody else had it? Anybody who just got a new copy of the Irrlicht (after sept 25)

I get the following error when I run Tutorial 1 :

Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention.

A possible cause was : Compiler uses an old DLL version. I'm trying this engine on a college computer. This computer never had this engine installed before. It deletes any installations with each restart. I get the same error again. I believe the problem is in irrlicht0.7.zip - A wrong DLL ?

Any input from devs would be appreciated :)

I found the problem

I found the error :

\irrlicht-0.7\bin I always used the dll from DevCpp that one is either old or corrupted
but if you use the file from VisualStudio it works fine.

What DevCpp is for than ?

It's a dll, compiled with DevCpp which is a editor/compiler like VisualStudio.
