When I load a module, PHP stops working (my browser waits like 2 mins before timing out on a page that usually takes about .1 seks to load)

Leonie Price, Nelson Rothermel, Davíð Geirsson,

I am also having this problem.  PHP runs fine until I uncomment a 
module I want in the php.ini file.  PHP then times out when running.  
The dll for the module is definitely in the windows system directory.  
I have read four 'how to install php on windows' tutorials and 
according to all my setup is correct.
Could you please explain, step by step, how to fix the problem - in non-
geek.  Please don't assume we know what 'Run it as CGI' means.
***********
UPDATE:
I've discovered that this step is essential to getting the modules to 
work:
Update the line in the php.ini file which reads:
 extensions_dir=
Change it to where you have sent the dlls:
eg:   extension_dir = "c:/windows/system/"
Strangely this wasn't included in any of the PHP for windows 
configuration tutorials.
Cheers
