Have you had a look in the privileges section for the database that you can't create tables in? Does the phpmyadmin user (root if you haven't changed the config file) have permission to create? You can add/edit users in this screen.
Can you create a table using the MySQL command line tool against these imported databases? See [
dev.mysql.com] for help on how to use this to connect to your database.
I have no clue what you mean by ctrl+y to access phpmyadmin, was that a feature of the older EasyPHP?
