click on the icon in the system tray, go to PHP -> PHP Extensions and make sure it is checked. If not, go into the php.ini file and make sure that the line:
extension=php_mysqli.dll is uncommented (eg, remove the ; if it exists). If that line does not exist, add it.
If this still does not work, double check that the right php.ini file is being loaded.
To do so, view your phpinfo() ( Here for WAMPServer). Scroll down to the
Loaded Configuration File row and see which php.ini is being loaded. Make sure it is the right file. If you're using WAMPServer, it should be (WAMP INSTALL FOLDER)\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini . By default, it is C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini`.
If a different php.ini file is being loaded, just rename it to something else so that PHP will try and find the file somewhere else.

if after trying that out and it doesn't work...then try to deletr all the files from C:\wamp\tmp and then try again, and it should works
