A suggestion, do not install WAMP in a location that has spaces in the path (ex. "c:\Program Files\wamp" ). I've had the mysqli issue and other issues in Windows XP and Windows Vista when I installed into the Program Files directory.
When I reinstall into a path without spaces (ex. c:\ProgramFiles\wamp" ), the mysqli issue (and some other issues) go away.
