I think you are right in saying: "there's no need to change the registry
if you have your php.ini file in the right place". By moving the
"php.ini" to "c:\windows", the "fatal error" message was eliminated.
In addition, I copied "libmysql.dll" to "c:\windows", it appears to work
fine so far.
Thank you.
