Yes there was a problem with bits. I was trying to run a 32bit dll in 64bit CF.

Fix:
Rather than reinstalling my CF I gave up using cfx_image tag as I found a better option.

The builtin CF function ImageResize:

<!--- This resizes an image to attributes.thumbsize of original size and resize it proportionately to the new width. Notice that the height is blank.--->

        <cfset uploadedImage=ImageNew("#attributes.imagepath#\#photo#")>

        <cfset ImageResize(uploadedImage,"#attributes.thumbsize#","","highestQuality",1)>

"Unable to load library"

Is the DLL where CF is looking for it?

Have you validated that the DLL is intact? (checksum, Dependency Checker, etc)

What version of CF are you using? 32- or 64-bit?

Have you considered using the built-in image manipulation that newer versions of CF provide, instead?
