I've googled for the error (also with more general search terms)
but found nothing that seemed helpful. I think you tried the
same, but I just wanted to look. ;-)

Some questions that might lead to the cause of the error:

- Does the Python version of the M2Crypto package (2.4 in your
  case) match the Python version installed on your system?

- Do you have another Windows system which you can test with
  matching Python and M2Crypto versions?

- Does it help to reinstall M2Crypto? If it works then, it's
  perhaps not a clean solution but it might help. Perhaps a
  previous installation had been interrupted.

- Is the DLL in a directory which is actually searched for
  DLLs? Try to start a Python interpreter (not the pyshell)
  from the directory containing the DLL; i. e. the current
  directory is the directory containing the DLL. Does the
  import work now?

- Can you find any information on the Microsoft Website on
  what the error means?
