I'm not sure to follow you but here are a few points you have to check:

1. be sure that you are editing the right php.ini (phpinfo() tells you
which one php uses)
2. be sure that extension_dir is correctly set and the php_gd2.dll is
in there (and the directory must be readable by apache), in your case:
D:\Program Files\PHP\ext
3. be sure that the line "extension=php_gd2.dll" is in your php.ini
4. don't mix php version, be sure that php_gd2.dll is actually the php
5.2.5 version

An alternative would be to simply delete everything (php-apache
related, incl. all php.ini) and install something like wamp. It may
make your life easier until you get more familiar with the php and
apache configuration.
