          When I try to install it it says this:

          "Setting up tables...

          Reseting database...

          There seems to have been a slight problem with the database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

          An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

          We apologise for any inconvenience."

          I have pressed the refresh button but the same thing happens :(

                      It appears you haven't modified config.php with the correct database name, username and password.
