 * Sharvin,
 * Well the problem is the tables don’t exist. The install, I am assuming should
   create them at some point. But isn’t doing so. The database is there and can 
   connect to it.. just no tables are being created by WP on install or something.
   I feel a step is missing.

 * Sharvin,
 * I probably should also address that the Option 1 script I had to modify to use
   mysqli instead, this is due to newer versions of PHP don’t have or use the old
   mysql plugin anymore. WordPress recommends the version of PHP I am using and 
   supports mysqli from what I could find in the source wp-db.php

 * Sharvin,
 * So, I have checked the wp-config file as you have stated multiple times. Login,
   passwords, db and host are all correct.
 * As for the other steps I have done **Option 1** (as stated in my original post)
   and it works and connects. I have tried **Option 2** (Multiple times recreated
   users – reinstalled everything thinking something may have corrupted) and it 
   doesn’t work. As a reminder I am on windows and do not use linux, so cPanel isn’t
   an option. I do use MySQL’s Workbench. I have recreated the database, created
   a separate user with full right permissions (Even used root), used localhost 
   and the ip address. still nothing. And as for **Option 3** we don’t use a hosting
   company this is on my own server.
 * Hence my frustration. Shouldn’t be so difficult.

 * Sharvin, Unfortunately that didn’t work. That maybe because this is a fresh install
   and the tables don’t exist yet. The suggestion you gave now gives me the following
   error when I goto the repair.php page…
 * WordPress database error Table ‘wp_database.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query
   SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘siteurl’ LIMIT 1 made
   by require_once…. (VERY LONG)
