Poblem with XOOPS installation:

Hi guys, this forum is great and so is xoops. Well heres my problem i'm a newbie web designer from australia, i want to install XOOPS on my WinXP machine (or my Win2k) but i get as far in the installation when i says finally that the database could not be connected to. (What the!) MySql runs as a service and i can connect and write to a table in php but XOOPS won't connect. Any help would be great. Email me suggestions @ jeremychild@gmail.com
