Ok, now I decided to just take them out of the folder, however i keeps giving me this "Image failed to create, internal size too big (size*) on the console that pops up along with my windows

what's it suppose to mean

I'm not sure what it means but that is the reason why your code never worked when you used folders.

hm, that's a possibility. But when I used folders the console gave me a different error. (cannot locate file) and such.

but yeh...here's the exact error code I'm getting:

Failed to create image, it's internal size is too high (2048x1024)

It seems like your graphics card doesn't support such big textures.

that's...very possible actually. I'm using a really old computer...
Ok I'll try this on a better one. and see if the results change

ok...wtf. On my better computer it still won't let me open the image

Failed to load image "menu_background.bmp." Reason: Can't fopen

(fopen is not a typo on my part)

Is the file open in any other program? Are you surrrrre? Have you restarted your computer? (possible memory leak and a program has it open in memory) Are you sure it's spelled right? Are you sure it's .bmp and not .BMP? (File names are case sensitive)

Maybe post the exe and the images and we can try it.

I'm sure you have it figured out by now, but just for reference, it's better to use a forward slash / instead of a backward slash \. Windows recognizes forward slashes, too, and it makes your code more portable since other OS's don't use backward slashes. Also, if you use forward slashes, you don't have to worry about character escapes, and you don't have to use 2 backward slashes, \\.
