You're getting this message because you're trying to mix 32- and 64-bit code in the same process.

You probably compiled your application to target "Any CPU", which will run you're code as 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and 64-bit on 64-bit Windows. The problem with this is when you install 32-bit drivers on 64-bit Windows. Your app runs as 64-bit by default but the .DLL's you're trying to use as 32-bit only, thus causing the error that you're seeing.

Go into the "My Project" node in Solution Explorer and click on the Compile tab. Change the "Target CPU" dropdown to either "x86" or "x64" depending on the .DLL's you're trying to use. Try one, if it doesn't work, try the other if you don't know what you're loading.
