I've found the biggest pain in Win32 installs of PHP/MySQL to be the
path to the PHP.INI file not being read correctly - or ditto with
paths to extensions.

Make some odd, highly visible (or error-producing) change to check
that you are actually editing the right one. I've sometimes found that
even with setting up the PATH properly, Windows seems to insist on
having the ini file in the windows directory - even after rebooting
etc.
