If you ran phpinfo and that's what you got, it's what it is, it's not right or wrong, it's just telling you the current configuration of your system.

Are you running mysql as a service on windows nt (windows 2000 or windows xp?)

Did you get mysql running before installing apache?

I just saw your other post. You shouldn't run norton or macafee security stuff, I've seen nothing but problems with that stuff.

Try restarting mysql with this procedure:
[mysql.com...]

and see if that helps
