Okies, i got the problem also so im gonna answer your question in 3 points :
1/ Check this link in the Windows Support Forum, it might help.

2/ Check your db.ini VERY CAREFULLY. Sometimes (Especially on Windows XP), if u copy / Paste the informations of the file from a web page, it insert a "Blank Space" at the end of the ligne "Password".
I honestly suggest you check the whole db.ini file, trying to see if there isnt a space or something...
3/ and last but not least, check and read again (and again) Readme.txt files in the packages. These are very well done, and most of times, they give answer to your questions.
hope it helps
