So I install PHP 5.1.2 on my test server, Betawolf, and get the same error I was getting on Alphawolf. Ok, I uninstall Apache 2.0.3 completely, download the latest 2.0.x version, .59, and install that. I load PHP on top of that, restart Apache, and it actually works! But I don't see any evidence of PHP running anywhere. Figuring it's a background process, I hit ctrl-alt-del to view the processes. Much to my surprise, the entire bottom half of the task manager window is missing.

I try to right click my computer to go to the management console, and nothing happens. I double click my computer and nothing happens. I double click Firefox, Ultra VNC, and the recycle bin; nothing happens. I decide to open up the control panel to remove PHP and I start by double clicking my computer. Oops, forgot something, did we?

I go to start, settings, control panel to get to the add/remove programs dialog, uninstall PHP, and reboot. Desktop icons are still not working. I use the start menu to try to start up Shareaza; "Unable to run this command." says the Windows Explorer error message. Wow, I've rarely ever seen the Windows shell get that fubared. Good thing I didn't mess with this on my production server.

Time to reimage....
