You have an extra closing bracket at the end, that might be the problem.

that was a typo for the forum my code doesnt actually have the extra parenthesis code blocks wouldn't have let me compile with an extra parenthesis.
everything compiles just fine its when i run it the sfml  window is blank and the codeblocks console window gives me the failed to load message

I think the error message is pretty clear... 8-bit PNG images are not supported :P
