suspect #1: are you by-chance trying to load a 32bit version of Gem into
a 64bit version of Pd? that won't work. both the host (Pd) and the
external (Gem) must have the same "architecture".

suspect #2: the usual mismatch between msvcr90.dll (missing from the Gem
distribution) and the likes. the mailinglist archives should cover this.

just for the record: i can load Gem-0.93.3 ("Windows Archive (binaries +
documentation)", so that's the ZIP version), just fine with
Pd-0.49-0-i386 (ZIP version as well), using "wine" (not having tried it
on a native windows machine)
