LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/sapi/php5apache2.dll" Apache rejects and messages "Operation failed"

Hello!
      I downloaded and installed apache_2.2.9 on WinXP and It worked
fine.Then I downloaded php-5.2.6-Win32.zip and extracted it's contents to
c:\php folder.
      I renamed the php.ini-dist to php.ini and saved it in the directory
WINDOWS But  left the php.ini-dist at php folder, copied php5ts.dll into
c:\windows\system32 But I left the original at the php folder
     Went to httpd.conf file and added the following lines
         *AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
         AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
*
          Up to this point everything worked fine.I restated apache several
times no error messages were displayed

    Then added the line
    * LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/sapi/php5apache2.dll"*
     After this line was added when apache was stopped and restarted the
message *"operation failed"* was displayed

To any help will be greatfull

Thanks Varuna
