Can you download 32-bit Dependency Walker from here:

   http://www.dependencywalker.com/depends22_x86.zip

Extract it to some directory and run 'depends.exe'.

Then, go to the 'File' menu and choose 'Open'. Browse for the 'digikam.exe'
executable on your hard drive and open it. Once opened, go to the 'Profile'
menu at the top and choose 'Start Profiling...'. Check every box in the window
that appears except 'Clear the log window', 'Log thread information, and 'Log a
time stamp with each line of log'. Then click 'OK'.

It will try to launch digikam.exe and then DBUS-DAEMON.EXE. If you look under
the 'Window' menu at the top, you should see an entry for both programs. Click
on the 'DBUS-DAEMON.EXE' entry and at the bottom of the Dependency Walker
window there is a log of the run attempt. Scroll through this list and see if
there are any entries that are written in red text. Let me know what this text
says. Also, in the box above the log, it lists all DLLs that DBUS-DAEMON.EXE
accessed. Scroll to the very bottom. Sort this list by 'File Time Stamp' and
look at the top for any entries that say 'Error opening file...' and let me
know what these DLLs are (even on a working system you should see at least two
DLLs that won't load, GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL, so this may not tell us
anything). Repeat this for the 'digikam.exe' entry under the 'Window' menu.
