php 5.2.11 problem during instalation of Drupal

When installing Drupal 6.8 message appeared:
.
“Database configuration
The following installation warning should be carefully reviewed:
Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support. (Currently using Unicode library Standard PHP)
http://www.php.net/mbstring
.
Your web server does not appear to support any common database types. Check with your hosting provider to see if they offer any databases that Drupal supports.

.
I have (I think) successfully installed Apache 2.2.14, PHP 5.2.11, MySQL 4.1.22 on Win XP.

How can I continue with installation? I was looking at it on the web, but I am quite confused now what to do. Please explain it “idiot proof” way.

Thank you
