cacti w/server 2003

I am new to cacti. I am sure that it is much easier to do with Linux, but I want to drive myself crazy so I am trying to get it to run on Windows.
 
I have run into some problems trying to install Cacti with Windows. So far I have installed:

php 5.0.5
Apache/2.0.55 (Win32)
MySQL Administrator 1.1
MySQL Server 5.0
net-snmp version 5.1.3
cacti-0.8.6g
cactid-0.8.6f
ActivePerl-5.8.7.815
----------------------------------------------
My cactid.conf file
DB_Host 127.0.0.1
DB_Database cacti
DB_User root
DB_Pass cactiuser

My problem is running cactid from command line.
This is the output I get.

C:cactid>cactid
CACTID: Using cactid config file [cactid.conf]
CACTID: MYSQL: Connection Failed: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


I am stuck, can anyone point me in the right direction?
