Problems adding extensions

Hi All,

I installed WAMP (latest version) on my Windows 2000 SP4 server. Everything works fine, until I try to enable the PHP extension "php_mssql.dll" - when I do this, the wampapache tries to restart, but gets hung, and just sits there "starting"....I have to kill it with pskill.

I've discovered this will happen if I use the WAMP menu (selecting the checkbox), or hand enter it into the PHP.INI file.

I've also discovered this happens when hand adding "php_mcrypt.dll" extension (yes, the DLL's are in the EXT folder).

I need to enable these two extensions to allow an old PHP web application to work - it was not written for MySQL.

Does anyone know why the wampapache service "sticks" when I try to enable these extensions?

Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!
Dave

That wouldn't matter at this point - if you read the message, the server service can't even start, let alone process any PHP script.
