PHPmyadmin

When combining Apache, MySQL, PHP, and PHPmyadmin, there is a host of users reporting:

Can't load MySQL extensions. Check PHP configuration.

None of the suggested rededies seem to work for me to solve this 'final set up problem'.
Does anyone know if Vista could be a cause of same?
I have not elected to go down the WAMP route yet.

Solution: PHPmyadmin

There does not appear to be a quick fix by installing in this way. So I tried WAMP5 at this link:

First time I have ventured down this road, but phpmyadmin worked first time.

Conclusion: don't try and and install the component parts separately go straight to the above.

The current problem ends here.
