Please pay attention.

* You have to use the mysqli extension for MySQL 4.1.x, so uncomment
   php_mysqli.dll extension in your php.ini.
* That also means you need to use the mysqli_*() functions, not the old 
   mysql_*() functions.
* Since you probably don't have MySQL 4.0.x installed, DO NOT enable the
   php_mysql.dll extension.
* What are you talking about with the libmysql.dll?  The libmySQL.dll
   that MySQL installs to the mysql bin directory (for example
   C:\Program Files\mysql41\bin)?  Don't move that from there (Put it
   back there).  Guess you misinterpreted some instructions you read 
   somewhere else.
* You didn't mention what you set the extension_dir to in php.ini.
* If you're using PHP as an Apache module, restart Apache.
