Anyway, in that file locate the extensions section and remove the * at the beginning of the line "extension=php_mysql.dll" (it shouldn't have any quotes).
Shut the whole shebang down if you had it running, then turn it all back on to load the extensions in php.ini.
If that doesn't do it, you might want to post more info here on your operating system and what you've installed etc. It's too bad XAMPP didn't work for you, it's usually an easy install in my experience and saves a world of hurt. :-)
Cheers,
Becky
