David Billinghurst's below information allows me to bring up a plot in Gnuplot 4.4.2, but something isn't working correctly because when I close out the Gnuplot window, wgnuplot.exe is still running, which prevents Maxima from responding until I end the wgnuplot.exe process using Ctrl+Alt+Delete > Windows Task Manager > Processes > End Process button, whereupon I can continue with the Maxima session.
If anyone can provide information that could help fix this, I would be grateful.

Yes. This works for me.
(%i1) gnuplot_command:"c:/programs/gnuplot/binary/wgnuplot"$
(%i2) plot2d (sin(x), [x, -5, 5])$
runs my installed gnuplot 4.4.2
