I can not reproduce this with 32-bit Python 2.6.5, numpy 1.3.0, matplotlib 0.99.1 and basemap 0.99.4 on Windows 7/C2Q. However, the basemap 0.99.4 binary does not work with numpy 1.4.x. Depending on how you installed Python you might also need to install the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package" separately. IIRC, geoslib was compiled with SSE2 enabled and will fail to load on older CPUs (this might cause the -1073741795 error). If you don't mind using developer versions, updated installers of matplotlib and basemap, compiled against numpy 1.4.1rc, are available at <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>.
