Please Help! Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

Error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in d:\inetpub\www\test.php on line 5 System: winXPsp2 Tried: . Re-install IIS . Re-install PHP using installer. . Re-install PHP using zip manual install (both ISAPI and CGI approachs) . Re-install in Safe Mode (d'oh! no IIS in safe mode :p ) Info: Bug reports in php.net all show that this isn't a bug, but rather that that extention is not compiled... however, since this is IIS not linux that's not possible. the one item I found with IIS as the OS the only response was "Man, your F**ked" Other usefull information: when i use the installer, it never finishes. it hangs on "copying php.ini" (this is why i thought to reinstall IIS) I am at a loss... any ideas? Thanks -Echo
