Turn display startup errors on to see why modules won't load
Mbstring has an additional extension requirement - you MUST MUST enable
php_exif.dll before you enable mbstring
I swear this was in the docs at one point, wonder when it was removed
Thanks,

I have now moved the loading around in the php.ini file to this:
[PHP_EXIF]
extension=php_exif.dll
[PHP_MBSTRING]
extension=php_mbstring.dll
I have also made these changes:
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
log_errors = On
error_log="C:\Windows\temp\php-errors.log"
But I still only get an error like this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strtolower() in <snip>/info.php
on line 66
"php -m" does not report any more modules than before that gets loaded and
php-error.log is empty.
An output of "phpinfo();" does not reveal anything helpful either.
It seems like most of the other modules are loading, but just not
php_mbstring.dll for some reason.

Hmmm - you sure it's getting the right ini file loaded? what file does
phpinfo tell you it's loading? do other changes made to the ini get
processed?

It's vice versa. exif have a dependence to mbstring. So if you want load
exif, you must first load mbstring.
But you can still use mbstring without exif.

It seems like it does not even read the php.ini file that I have set it to
use.
phpinfo() sais the same thing
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File: C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed: (none)
But if I comment out all the rows of the modules it still loads all of them.
Something is very strange here.

That is what I read to, but it still does not seem to be anything that helps
me in my case here. No order of them makes php_mbstring.dll to load and
work.

Are you editing C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini
Try ...
php -c "C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini" -m
"It seems like it does not even read the php.ini file that I have set
it to use."
Where did you set the ini file path ?
You've got several places.
I prefer the registry...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\5]
"IniFilePath"="D:\\PHP\\INI"

This problem was an issue with the Windows Vista UAC functionality.
It created a php.ini file in my
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\PHP folder.
This is what UAC are supposed to do and on a personal machine, not a server,
this is expected when running with UAC. I just never realized PHP was
running as my user untill now.
For anyone getting an error like this when no changes that are made in the
PHP.ini file on Vista, check if you have UAC on (you probebly do) and edit
the file in your VirtualStore.
