[ferri_marllo gva es]

Hi!!
Please i need help...

i want to build a window,and show into it this image in it:  c:\dates\image.jpg

I tried with image=create_pixbuf(window1,"c:\\dates\\image.jpg")  but it showed
an error message:"Couldn't find the file".

Then i tried with image=gtk_image_new_from_file(,"c:\\dates\\image.jpg")...but
the image doesn't appear(it's broken).

I'm using windows 98.
Please...can you help me??
