phpMyAdmin on Windows XP

I've used Apache/MySQL/PHP on my Windows XP computer for years, but never thought I needed phpMyAdmin. In trying to help a friend configure a machine, I installed phpMyAdmin on my system, but can't get it to connect to my database! I know the port number, database user and password are correct. I have no problem using mysql CLI and no problem connecting with PHP scripts on my machine, so I'm assuming that I haven't got phpMyAdmin configured properly, but I've gone over the config file 3 or 4 times with no luck.

phpMyAdmin starts, but in the left pane it says "No Databases". Of course, I have several. mysqld.exe is running and I can bring up the mysql CLI and connect to any of the databases.

Any suggestions will be welcome.

[EDIT: Hold on! Now I find that php scripts using localhost are not running either, anymore! I must have screwed up something in the php-mysql config. I'll work on that.]
