Hi,

That file is the graphcislib of PHP, named GD-lib (version 2 in your case,
which is good).

I expect that you did comment out in php.ini this extension, so PHP tries to
load it, but cannot find it.

But it is hard to help you based on the limitted information you provided.
Some thoughts:

Do you have a good reason to run PHP from commandline?

What does php answer if you:
1) start->run-> type cmd
2) cd to the directory of php.exe
3) type php -?
(gives some information on how to use it)
or 3) type php -v
(gives versionnumber)

The -? will also give you information on how to tell php which php.ini to
use.
Maybe make a fresh one for this application with the GD-libs commented out?
