I'm using Turbo C++ 4.5 IDE and related tools. (yeah... i know turbo
C++ 4.5is realy aged, but could this be the problem?)

I believe Turbo C++ can only produce Win16 executables. A Win16 
executable can load a Win32 DLL but cannot call functions in it without 
jumping through extremely complicated hoops:

I would not recommend this route except when somebody is holding a gun 
to your head. You'll make your life a lot easier by using a modern 
compiler capable of producing Win32 executables. Visual C++ Express 
Edition is one such compiler, available from your friendly operating 
system vendor at no charge:
