I've looked and this is a problem in the pd-0.34-3 release... I don't know what it comes from. It might work to copy "extra" from an earlier Pd release into pd-0.34-3... I'll fix it up in the next couple of days (also the netreceive bug) and put out a new "34" release for both platforms...

thanks to all your advice, but the problem seems to live inside pd 0.34-3. i put pd in verbose-mode when loading the fiddle~.dll by flag and the message was like this:
"tried \audio\pd\extra\fiddle~ and succeeded" followed by C:\audio\pd\extra\fiddle~.dll: couldn't load
i tried pd 0.34-1 and fiddle loaded without any problem (without putting any flag).
so maybe something wrong in this very distribution ?...

I believe the "extra" directory is searched automatically by pd. In other words, you don't have to add it to the searchpath with "-path".

Hallo Oliver, as i understand it, fiddle~ is just a single external object (and not a library containing multiple objects) - thus it is loaded automagically if it is found in the pd search path.
It should be sufficient to specify -path /<pdpath>/extra so that all objects in that directory be found
You can also use the -verbose flag to see pd looking after the object
