You'r using relatively new PHP, new(er) version of windows server and yet you're using a version of MySQL that's been dead for years:
http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/lifecycle/#calendar
Also see the note at the end of this page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/
The docs may not even be around after the end of this year....
oh, ok, I guess 3.x is listed as usable here:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Installation_Requirements#Database
...
But at least part of the problem is that PHP doesn't know MySQL even exists. See the big red note on the screenshot you posted. Make sure you're following the instructions here:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Installation_Requirements#IIS
Reuse a DB? Why? Are you moving Gallery from one server to another? Is this a shared host or something you have full control over the server on?

recently i found that i cannot use gallery2 in my web server build 12 years ago, and it runs on winnt with IIS4 and so it does not support mysql of newer version,
see http://gallery.menalto.com/node/98759, and so I use another server instead, which runs on server 2003, and so I installed PHP 5.2.14 instead, and I afraid the database will affected, so I install mysql 3.23.41 as orginal, after installing IIS6, mysql and PHP, I downloaded gallery2.3.1 and want to fresh install the program and reuse original database, (gallery2 is 2.2.2 in old server), then I go to /localhost/gallery2/install/index.php, it works, and i do think it can be installed. and when go to step 5 , problem comes.
actually I have gallery2 dir under the web server dir, and I copied gallery2datasets (album dir) at the parent dir of web file
1. should I rebuild database in mysql again ? "create database gallery2datasets" ? and should I copy the "old" dir gallery2datasets to this server without change anything ?
2. Should I connect php to mysql by myself ? or they can connect in gallery2 ?
3 or should i upgrade the mysql to 5.x ? will it affect the original datasets ?
actually i followed the guide step by step is there any tailored procedure for me in this case ?
what i want to do is install gallery 2.3.1 using original datasets.
thanks

PHP Cannot see MySQL
There is this procedure, but first you must have a working configuration. Right now it appears PHP cannot see or connect to MySQL, so that right now is the problem.
FAQ: How can I move my gallery installation from one server to another?

A link would be better. That is a screenshot of only the top part of that page. There are about 20 more pages of info

Yeah, there's no MySQL extensions loaded. See this tutorial:
