Getting Apache 2.0.35 and PHP 4.2 to work on Win2k

I've been running apache 2 as my server for a while, and have been running php as a cgi (I know not the best idea). I saw that 4.2 offered experimental support, so I tried upgrading to that. Install.txt only includes instructions for 1.3.x, but I tried adjusting it to 2.x I couldn't get them to work. I then reverted to 4.1.2, but this had the following odd behavior: whenever I have a page request such as "file.php?foo=bar" it would never acknowledge it (load the page as though foo=bar wasn't there." I haven't had this problem before. I then tried running 4.2 as a cgi. It causes a message "The procedure entry point php_output_activate could not be located in the dynamic link library php4ts.dll" to pop up. Any help with apache 2 and php 4.2 would be a great help.
