H264 streaming wont work

I am using the following to serve html content locally for education programmes over a WiFi network.
- XAMPP 1.8.2-3 / Apache 2.4
- 32 bit Windows XP computer
- Visual C++ 2008 Redist installed
Much of the material is short videos which I have encoded as .mp4 and these download fine but it would be faster and more useable to stream instead.

I have;
extracted the precompiled mod_h264_streaming.so (from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4602124/apache_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7.zip) to c:\xampp\apache\modules
edited httpd.conf to add "LoadModule h264_streaming_module modules/mod_h264_streaming.so", "AddHandler h264-streaming.extensions .mp4"

BUT then the server will not restart, no error message is generated. Any ideas? Suggestions? Help?

First, you should probably type in German if you post in the German part of the forums. Second, if you are truly running windows, that file will not do anything for you. http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/so

You should be looking for .dll files.

I didn't know there was an English area! will do.

now if .so was not applicable, none of XAMPP's Apache modules would load would they? Surely Id use the appropriate .dll for a Windows server not windows hosting an Apache server?

Depends says it's a Win32 DLL binary however I'm betting it's for Apache 2.2.x.
You could try this: https://www.apachehaus.net/modules/mod_h264_streaming/
specifcally, mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7-2.4.x-x86.zip
