i don't know how this started, but now each time i start up houdini i have two messages come up.

1st - HOUDINI.EXE - ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND
“The procedure entry point jpeg_CreateCompress could not be located in the dynamic link library libjpeg.dll.”

2nd - HOUDINI DSO ERROR
“Couldn't load CPROGRA~1/HOUDINI~1.286/houdini/dso/fb/IMG_JPEG.dll.
This is probably because the file was intended to use with a different version of houdini.”

then the houdini console will come up with “Error ”CPROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.286/houdini/FBoptions": Unknown file format “JPEG” "

this wasn't the case up until about four days ago. i checked for this file and it is where it says it is .
just confused.
anybody understand this?
thanks

Have you installed anything four days ago?
An installation sometimes can screw up things.
Windows's dlls are famous for pulling this kind of stuff.
If I were you, I'd try to reinstall Houdini. In most cases it'll work
and you will save lots of time.
