 OK, so that's module not found. That can crop up with Oracle 10g because the file permissions that Oracle 10g sets on the Oracle home are more restrictive than Oracle 9i sets, and so you may need to grant additional file system privileges on the Oracle home directory to the system account that Apache runs as.

 If you have 9i and 10g installed at the same time you also have to be very careful about the setting of the PATH environment variable, and on Windows it's difficult (if not impossible) to alter the value for a service without rebooting (unless the service implements a method of reloading its environment, which AFAIK Apache's Windows service does not).
