Installation help using Xamp

Hello,

I just downloaded the newest available version of wordpress and am attemption to set it up using Xamp.

These are the settings I saved per the instructions I received from this site: https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/

I have the newest version of windowns 64 bit.

When I try and load the site in a browser I get an error stating ‘Can’t select database’ even though I saved the wordpress file in the htdocs folder already.

Can someone please help? I am pretty new at this.

Thanks
Shea
