newbie: phpbb2 & php5

PHP version 5.0.4
MySql version 4.1.11
OS WinXP pro sp2

I'm trying to install a phpbb2 forum on my computer, so I've downloaded the
latest version of phpbb2 and extracted it in its own folder in
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" so I can access the files via http://localhost etc....

But when I start the installation of phpbb2 this error eccur
"The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that
you chose"

BTW: I haven't changed the permissions on the config.php, I don't know how
to set linux/unix permissions on files on a winXP system -> I use winXP and
I don't know how to set permissions like these on files on a winXP
system: -rw-r--r

Please give me some advice on how to get phpbb2 installed!

Best Regards

Jeff

what does the output of phpinfo(); show you? Is mysql support listed?
If no, then you need to rebuild php.
