PHP 2 on Vista error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

Hi,

Big fan of Easyphp2, one of the best dev tools ever.

Just moved to Vista(32) (and yes ut sucks) and getting this odd message when opening [127.0.0.1].
n C:\Program Files\EasyPHP2\www\includes\dBase_modules\open_db.php on line 3


If I run phpMyAdmin, I get at the message:
phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation


Follow the documentation help, and taht says
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

okay, run a check and php_mysql.dll is definitely in the php5/ext/ directory.

I have done a resinstall and the same thing is happening.

In task manager, Apache and mySQL are running. If I connect to the MySQL with phpmaker6, it opens fine. MySQL is running like a train on greased rails.


Any ideas why Fire fox 2 can't open?
Thanks
