Can you tell the details of what you tried, and what you saw when you
tried that?  What does it mean "will not load"?  Does LoadLibrary
return NULL or a handle that cannot be used?  If so, what does
GetLastError return when that happens?  And when LoadLibrary fails,
does GetModuleHandle return a valid handle (which would indicate that
the DLL is already loaded into the program's address space)?  And
finally, if you run Emacs under GDB, does the "info shared" command in
GDB show dwmapi.dll as loaded?
