we still do not know which exact(!) version of Gem you use.
without that knowledge we cannot help you much.

however, you might experience codec problems.
do the example movies that come with Gem (homer.avi, anim-1.mov) work?
if the codec is the problem, feel free to search the archives of the 
pd-list; this has often been discussed.

chris clepper has recently been working on a DirectShow based 
film-loader which should solve a lot of problems for w32 users.
