I am trying to get WampServer set up on a Windows XP laptop. Successful install, PHP works fine. When I try to open the PHPmyAdmin page, I get Error 2006 - MySQL Server has gone away.

I can't help with this directly, but know the error, have seen it when there is wonky programming overloading the mySQL server causing it to restart. The other time I've seen it is when I use a command line connection and it times out - which is my only bit of possible advice. It may be shutting down too quickly, not actually starting up at all?
Can you log in to mySQL via command line with the user for your phpMyAdmin?

No such luck.

OK . . . can you code up a page to just connect using those credentials? Just something that connects, selects a count, echoes the count.
If you can do that, I'm guessing it's something with PHPmyAdmin. Causing mySQL to hit a memory limit?
