1) Ensure you are compiling your exe into the correct folder, it's no good compiling your game into the windows temp folder, if the shader file is else where.

2) It helps to set a specific path. You can do this with the following code.

Path$ = Get DIR$()
load effect Path$ + “\” + “PixelLighting.fx”,1,0

This ensures you get the current location of your working folder. If you ensure the file structure is currect for exmaple

project
!--- media
!--- shader

with the exe running from the project folder, then you should have no issues.
