Installing Mcrypt on Windows Platform

[njohnson]

I have installed mcrypt on windows XP Professional in the following steps:

• 1) Downloaded libmcrypt-2.5.7 and put it in the php directory
  2) Unmarked extension=php_mcrypt.dll in php.ini
  3) put the libmcrypt.dll for WIN32 in the system32 folder

I can encrypt data just fine. But I cannot for the life of me get mdecrypt_generic() to work. It keeps giving me a message: PHP has encountered an Access Violation at [then some alpha/numeric characters].

I am about to pull my hair out on this one. My hair is falling out the way it is, I don't need to be pulling it out. Please adivse. Thanks!
