I had a similar issue and discovered that I had deleted the following line before pasting the test code:

#include "stdafx.h"

Make sure you have the line as above before pasting the test code.

Maybe you could go to one of your friends , and copy this .dll file from his system dictionary

OPENGL.DLL

You are sure about that name. Wasn't it opengl32.dll?

I already put the h. and .dll files in the specific directories

Never(!) do this with opengl32.dll. This is a system DLL and must not be overridden by shipping one own's with the program. If you do this, you may very likely end up with not getting HW acceleration.

Most systems already have OPENGL.DLL in the Windows System directory.

The way to diagnose this error is to run Dependency Walker (download here).

Run it and open up your .EXE file - and it will tell you specifically what DLL it can't locate, or which is loaded but is not compatible.
