Welcome to the forums.

Look in your effects folder again. Is there is a file called "PaintDotNet.Effects.dll" in the "Effects" folder? If there is You might have accidentally copied that file from "DRIVE:\Program Files\Paint.NET". Remove it from the "Effects" folder but do not delete the original in "DRIVE:\Program Files\Paint.NET".

Edit: After you've done that restart Paint.Net if you were using it.
