Until now this was just a theoretical case, never emerged in Prima,
but in general the problem is known as "DLL hell", which stems when
different pieces of software use different versions of same library.
In our case, it is prigraph.dll, which, in turn,
uses zlib.dll - and if another version of zlib.dll is to be used, there are
problems. There is just one thing that might help - try to locate all zlib.dll
you have and condense down to using just one; if the Prima's is outdated,
copy the newer one over it.
