The image is probably not in the executable directory or has another name.

The image must be in the folder with the exe or the folder you set as the working directory in your debugger's options if you specify the name without a path. It can't magically find images in your Pictures folder or that are up 3 directories.

Or, if for some odd reason you need to, you can also use absolute paths.  I would highly not recommend this though.
