i will try and make this as clear as i can )
host < this is either localhost or 127.0.0.1 - tells where to find your database
user / user name < this is the user name you used when you installed mysql
password < this is the password you used when you installed mysql
database / db < this is the database where the game data is held within mysql
the other two fields in db.ini are only needed if you want to mess with spells/quests.
db.ini needs to be in same folder as the main exe's, dosn't matter where on your computer
did you install m/s networking when you reinstalled?
make sure you run ODBC_DRIVERS.zip, the one from GeorgeS's main page.
and also run the register_ocx.bat inside the resources folder.
This should allow to connect to mysql, if not, then mysql is probably not running.
Did you set mysql to autostart when windows loads?
And also have you tried what GeorgeS suggested
i.e
try to connect with heidisql or
mysql -u eq --password=eq
eq's = mysql user name & password
