You might just need to enable it in your php.ini.
Try editing c:\windows\php.ini and adding/uncommenting
extension = php_mysql.dll

Then restart apache.

Make sure you have started mysql as well, open mysqladmin in the bin dir where you installed mysql.

I did, but still it says the same thing.

I also moved the libmysql.dll to windows directory and it doest work.
