Perhaps installing a new version of PHP, moving some files around, updating Windows, etc? What do you use to set the location of the PHP files? (i.e. have you modified your System Path, or did you just throw them all into the Windows\System folder?) Is this with Apache or IIS btw? My checklist would be something like this: 1) Check that the PHP.INI file you *think* PHP is using, it really is. 2) Check that you don't have redundant DLL files lurking around (in the Windows folder for example) 3) Ensure you're using a recent enough version of the MySQL DLL for it to work 4) Check your paths! 5) Check your dependances.. some DLLs require others.
