MySQL 1? Really? That's a *very* old version, you should really
upgrade :)

If you're running PHP 5.0.5 then why is the directory called php-5.0.3?

Confirm that:

a) there exists a file php_mysql.dll in the directory D:\PHP\php-5.0.3
\ext

b) the php.ini file that you have been editing matches the one displayed
if you create a file containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> and view it with
your web browser
