Start - Run - cmd
net start mysql
As a first thing.
You should be able to run the mysql.exe by double clicking on it if you've no db passwords set up yet, find where you installed mysql, go in the bin folder and run mysql.exe
Failing that cd there in the cmd box and run it command line, you will be also be able to enter passwords if you start it like
mysql -u root -p
Then put your pass in.
I'm going out now - Steve text me if you need anything.

it didnt work so i've reinstalled everything.
i've installed Apache 2.0, MySQL4.1 binary, PHP4.4, mysql administrator 1.019 and i've unzipped phpbb2.0 to c:\server and renamed it phpBB2
how do i get into phpmyadmin? if i go to localhost/phpmyadmin it shows the parent folder
right i've got this working again http://localhost/phpBB2/install/install.php to install it, but im getting error messages
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'Tom'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\Server\Apache2\htdocs\phpBB2\db\mysql4.php on line 48

Permission problems with the phpbb database for the user named Tom.
You need to get this working command line first. Don't worry about the web stuff until the raw data works.
In fact - you have altered the config file with the Tom username and pass - where did you set this elsewhere?
Try username or root with no password in the phpbb config.
Less secure but you can sort that afterwards.

I would get a simple PHP app working first, then a PHP/MySQL one, then one which needs a big install script.
