It is not possible to select the database a second time

Description
This error is under Windows 2000 and XAMPP for Windows 1.4.9. I used phpmyadmin to create the 'typo3' database because the install tool could not make this.
Then I have already selected the database 'test' provided from XAMPP. It went fine. However the database 'typo3' was never shown and could not be selected. So I deleted the 'test' database and restarted with the Typo3 install skript. Then I did not get any more possiblity to select a database. 'test' was already selected and could not be changed any more.

Then I have changed the user to 'root' and empty password and could get the database combobox select and the field to entry the database name for creation again. But there is still only 'test' selected which I have deleted and no 'typo3' database which I have created. I have done this with root.
I could not even create a database with root and do not know why.
My computer under Windows2000 has the name 'argent'.
After changing $typo3_db in typo3conf/localconf.php from 'test' to 'typo3' and the Host from 'argent' to 'localhost' it worked to connect to the 'typo3' Database with the user 'franz' and the user password. By the use of 'localhost' instead of 'argent' all available databases are not in the ComboBox to choose.
So it would be good to have a feature to change the $typo3_db in all possible cases via the install script.

The problem was caused by incorrectly set permissions in MySQL. And you can always change the settings directly, be using the "edit files in typo3conf/" part of the install tool.
