let me start by saying that I am a total newbie to this.
after some research I decided to install xampp as a base system on my windows xp home edition machine.
apache is working great but when i try to install the fudforum i get the following error :
FUDforum can utilize either MySQL PosgreSQL or SQLite database to store it's data, unfortunately, your PHP does not have support for either one. Please install or load the appropriate database extension and then re-run the install script.

xampp comes with apache2 , MySQL 4.1.15, PHP 5.0.5, phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl1.
according to system info mysql is indeed running

need help from the experts.

You probably don't have mysql extension loaded. The installer determines what database interfaces are available by checking for extension presense.

installed on another machine and it works great, so i cleaned up all instances of apache, mysql and php i could find on my pc and registry.
re-installed and it works great.
guess there was something linking to something else to garble things up.
