Just a thought, are your extensions (mysql.dll, etc) working properly? On windows, they can be a pain to configure.
Which is why I can only second what someone else mentioned before: download the package from ApacheFriends and install it. Then make sure that everything works. Then replace their htdocs folder with yours, then copy in the MySQL databases without overwriting the system databases followed by the table update. This approach works well, but has one flaw. I never can manage to get the MySQL user accounts and rights to copy over correctly, so I just create the few user accounts I have new. You may want to try backup&restore instead. Lastly, I uncomment the modules that I need for PHP in the php.ini. I keep a list of what I need for the projects that I run. One Apache restart later I am up and running.
I use ApacheFriends XAMPP in production use for almost ten years and I can only say two things about it: it always works and it is darn easy to set up. Sure, I don't learn about the detailed configurations and such, but I am happy with outsourcing that to Germany.
