My problem is not that I can't display images, but that the same action 
doesn't work the same way with either setting.

When w32-use-native-image-API is nil, image "1" can be displayed as soon 
as the Enter key is pressed (before "(%2)" appears, see 11.png). 
However, if w32-use-native-image-API is t, image 1 will not be 
displayed, just an empty box (see 22.png).

Now we enter another expression. If w32-use-native-image-API is nil, 
image "2" can be displayed immediately after pressing enter, and it will 
not affect the display of the previous image "1", see 33.png. If 
w32-use-native-image-API is t, instead of displaying an empty box, image 
"2" is not displayed, but the first empty box is replaced by image "1", 
see 44.png.

Best wishes,

Jinsong
