Python 3.10: LocaOnScreen Issues

Question

I'm new to python, and I'm using python 3.10.1. Below is a snippet of the program I am trying to run.

from pyautogui import *
import pyautogui
import time
import keyboard
import random
import win32api, win32con
while 1:
    if pyautogui.locateOnScreen ('stickman.png'):
        print ( " I Can see It " )
        time.sleep (0.5)
    else:
        print ( " I Can't see it " )
        time.sleep (0.5)

Here is the error when I run the program:

  File "C:/Users/menne/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/aa.py", line 9, in <module>
    if pyautogui.locateOnScreen ('stickman.png'):
  File "C:\Users\menne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyautogui\__init__.py", line 175, in wrapper
    return wrappedFunction(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\menne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyautogui\__init__.py", line 213, in locateOnScreen
    return pyscreeze.locateOnScreen(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\menne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyscreeze\__init__.py", line 373, in locateOnScreen
    retVal = locate(image, screenshotIm, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\menne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyscreeze\__init__.py", line 353, in locate
    points = tuple(locateAll(needleImage, haystackImage, **kwargs))
  File "C:\Users\menne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyscreeze\__init__.py", line 207, in _locateAll_opencv
    needleImage = _load_cv2(needleImage, grayscale)
  File "C:\Users\menne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\pyscreeze\__init__.py", line 170, in _load_cv2
    raise IOError("Failed to read %s because file is missing, "
OSError: Failed to read stickman.png because file is missing, has improper permissions, or is an unsupported or invalid format

Why am I receiving this error message?
