I want to use the extended version of the RIOT plugin and downloaded the latest set from the developers site. According to the instructions all I need to do is copy the RIOT.DLL and FREEIMAGE.DLL into the IRfanView Plugin Directory. Didn't work for me. Thought they might need registering but No. Please Advise...

To install the extended version of the RIOT plugin in IrfanView you need to follow these simple steps:
1) make a backup copy of Plugins\Riot.dll (this is the lite version. If you decide to switch back to this version for some reason you will need this file)
2) copy/overwrite Riot.dll from this release in the Plugins folder
3) copy FreeImage.dll in the IrfanView folder (that's where the IrfanView executable is)
Or you can copy FreeImage.dll somewhere in the system path (Like C:\windows or c:\windows\system)

That is What I Did - It didn't work
After renaming the Plugins/Riot.dll to Plugins/Riot_back.dll and then Copying the Riot.dll and freeimage.dll into the Plugins directory, I open an Image, select save IrfanView will not load the FREEImage.dll "This Application has failed to start because FREEImage.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Then I get another dialog box stating "Can't load PlugIn: "RIOT.DLL" ! Please install or update PlugIns from IrfanView homepage!" The Plugin set that I am using is those distributed in the irfanview_plugins_425_setup.exe executable.

Isn't is possible that you now have two riot plugins fighting with each other? Renaming one "Riot.dll" and the other "Riot_back.dll" isn't hiding one of the dll's. You're going to have to change the extension on one, ie, "riot.bak". After all, anything with an ending of ".dll" is going to get seen by iview, if it's located in the plugin directory.
