(a) forgot... are you changing the right my.ini ? Make sure you don't have
more than one, and make sure you put 10M not MB
(b) when you install using XAMPP it *does* give you the option of whether
you want to install MySQL.
(c) I *still* suggest you scrub everything and use XAMPP. You can (assuming
there are no bits of MySQL or Apache or anything else floating around) be up
and running in 10 minutes flat. It's a hell of a lot easier than learning
how to configure Apache (or IIS) to work with PHP to work with MySQL, as it
does it all in one install. If you want to learn PHP, it's still the
quickest way to do it.

once again, thanks D... it DOES give you an option of whether or not you want MySQL??? I REALLY don't remember that.. I would have to see a screen-shot of it or something.. I don't remember that at all (& most probably I would have chosen 'no'...) I also don't see that option here, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#522 (I mean does it install MySQL and then just give you option of not turning on service? that would also scare me.. or can you install just Apache and whatever you need for PHP without installing any MySQL stuff at all? (and I assume in that case it wouldn't install demos that pull info from db? that would make sense..) oh brother..

ok, I did re-install MySQL 1.4.. can basically reconnect ok, only am having some problems (copied my db's back but can't read tables..), but that's for another forum.. again many thanks..
