$autoload['model'] isn't loading models

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I added:

Code:

function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $CI =& get_instance();
  $CI->load->model('fileOps','fileOps',true);
    }

to the constructor of the model I'm currently working in. I still get the same error message:

Unable to locate the model you have specified: fileops

when I reference it likes this:

Code:

$pdf = $CI->fileOps->uploadPDF('pdf');
