Is someone informing Cryptsy and the various mining pools of the wallet update?
Yes. Some of the people who helped work for Cryptsy, they've been aware and involved for the whole time.
As to the guys still having trouble with the .dll's, I'm not sure what's going wrong. Perhaps the install in 7 is not adding the missing dll's to your general path. Use the search function to find where they are installed, and copy them into the same directory as your Tekcoin-qt.exe file. That SHOULD solve it.
To the gentleman who is getting the block index error, I suggest moving your wallet.dat to a safe place and try to sync from nothing at all. If that works, then delete the new wallet.dat and copy the old one in. That should solve it. If not, PM me or Thundertoe, we'll get you sorted.
