[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

On the previous emacs 24.3 it png files display just fine with
libpng14-14.dll. On emacs 24.4.1 on windows 8, all png files give an error:
"Cannot display image: (Invalid image specification)". Other images, like
jpg display fine. I have this files in the emacs bin directory: (as you can
see i have libpng-16-16.dll)

What does this produce:

  M-: (image-type-available-p 'png) RET

And what does this produce:

  M-: libpng-version RET

And finally, how about this one:

  M-: dynamic-library-alist

> -rw-rw-rw- 1 mario mario 72192 03-11 11:36 zlib1.dll

This DLL's size is much smaller than what I have on my machine;
perhaps this is your problem?  (libpng depends on zlib1.dll.)  Make
sure you use the one that came with libpng.

The zlib dll was the problem. I replaced it with the new version and it
worked properly. I probably copied it from the older emacs folder. Thank
you!
