note 47179 added to function.session-start

Ah, your pointer to the "session.save_path" saved the day. In the W32 version of PHP 4.3.x, the default php.ini sets this value to "/tmp". So if you install to the suggested C:\php, then you need to create c:\tmp, or change the value in php.ini to some path that exists. I created c:\tmp and it all worked.
