I don't use nsclient++ but to help you understand the concepts and get  
you pointed in the right direction, check_nrpe contacts a daemon  
running on a remote host (NRPE or NSClient(++)) and asks that daemon  
to execute a plugin *installed and runnable* on the remote host. In  
your case, /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load is almost certainly not  
installed on your Windows machine, in that path, and it certainly  
isn't executable by Windows if it was (outside of using Cygwin).

This documentation may be useful to you - http://nsclient.com/nscp/wiki/doc/usage/nagios

The specific check you're looking for appears to be - http://nsclient.com/nscp/wiki/CheckCPU
