the extension directory and the php.ini match. It still will not load php_mbstring.dll.
Uhm, anyone has an idea what else to do?

try putting another copy of it in the same directory as php.ini and php.exe. And you're sure that php is using the php.ini you're modifying, right?

Yes, I know it is the right php.ini. I copied the php_mbstring.dll into the folder that contains the .exe and .ini and the problem is solved. Thank you very much for the help. Any idea why that works and having it in the specified extension directory doesn't?

It has to do with the 'dll search order' Windows uses.
Typically the order is:
    1) the same directory as the executable.
    2)  the  system  directory
    3) directories found in the 'path' environment variable

see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx
for the complete 'run down' on 'start up' order
(in Windows you click 'Start' to say you're finished and want to shut down)
