the MySQL dll and all related to MySQL is updated 100% 
My machine is the server, the forum is the client which is trying to access the database (server)! So any updates for the client are actually updates for the forum... (considering that I have the latest PHP).

Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server. Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client.
Latest MySQL installed, PHP. Same error with 3 different web servers, when installing the forum. Any sollutions to this problem? Or is the forum too old to work with new versions of MySQL?
