Try to configure the PHP.INI file with a handy program like PHPconfig from AnalogX http://www.analogx.com, you find it underneath - software - network utilities- most likely you have set extra .dll's enabled with which the PHP version on your machine does not work. I run Windows 98 1st edition and got it all to work!
