Installing GD module for PHP on Windows to Image Toolkit recognizes it

Hi There:

I've just installed Drupal 5.1 (with PHP 5.2.1) locally on my Window XP machine. I'm trying to get the GD Image Toolkit module working so I can upload and resize images nicelyl and no matter what I do I keep getting the message:

"The built-in GD image toolkit requires that the GD module for PHP be installed and configured properly. For more information see PHP's image documentation."

Can someone tell me step by step how to get this GD module working? I don't think that my PHP that I just downloaded and installed has the built in GD library because when I do a "php -m" command at the DOS prompt, the "gd" module is not returned. I have done the following so far:

1. I have edited my php.ini file so that the line "extension=php_gd2.dll" is uncommented
2. I made sure that I put the dll file called "php_gd2.dll" in the directory: C:\Program Files\PHP\ext
3. I made sure that in the php.ini file that the extentions directory was: extension_dir ="C:\Program Files\PHP\ext" so that the "php_gd2.dll" file could be found.

Then I figured I needed the actual GD library, so I went to the website http://www.libgd.org/releases/ and downloaded the "gd-2.0.34-win32.zip" and unzipped it, but I don't know where to put all the unzipped files?

How do I actually install the GD library from the un-zipped files that I have so that PHP can finally recognize the GD library. OR am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
