start with the os, remove all doubts (or maybe you could post the error you got and we can give you better assistance)

hehe good call.
im doing WAMP.
my brother has 12 years experience with mysql and couldn't figure it out... (although he was on a lot of drugs when he tried)
php is set up and works great, and I can use it to access a database using user:root pass:null, but when I try to install drupal I get an error message.
so i tried to create a new database for drupal with mysql cmd prompt, but thats when i get the error. (no database or wrong pass/user)
see this is tricky because it could be so many different things that are wrong. I mean i pretty much tweaked some .ini files pretty bad and I don't even know what I did. I'm wondering if theres some kind of windows installer out there that will configure php/sql and all that good stuff automaticly.

really? 12 years w/ mysql? not bad for a company that's been around for 13 years...
since you can access the db, that means it's working. did you create any other users? did you assign a user for drupal/configure drupal for that user? did you grant proper access?

the fact that you're already at the mysql prompt means you're connected. it's not like telnet or ftp where you can start the app first then connect, connect command assumes there's already an active connection (unless you found some other way to connect that I haven't thought of...)
as for your answers, once you're connected, just create the user. there should be an explanation (http://drupal.org/node/30866) somewhere (http://www.google.com) on how to create that user. maybe even check the install guide?
