MySQL and PHPMyadmin connection errors

[radopod]

I am getting #2003 Error on trying to connect to phpmyadmin. I am using Xampp 1.6.4 on Windows 98. Although the Server control panel shows that the MySQL server has been started, the error still shows up. When I tried to start the server manually it gave the following errors;

[ERROR]
Can't Find messagefile 'C:\xampp\mysql\share\english\errmasg.sys'

So what should I do?

Why do you use Windows 98? It may by to new for Xampp. Try MSDOS 1.0 instead.
