Have you tried searching the forums here for Cannot instantiate non-existent class (Search for all words)?

yes i have any to be honest they all are for a error error this one is on line 104 the rest is for diff lines in the db.php file.

Different lines don't matter. What resolves one should resolve the other.

are you sure line 86 was on of the errors talked about the config.php file the MySQL being wrong in the dbtype i checked its right correct on the money and i still get the same error i did try but didnt work i even changed the way mysql was spelled still didnt fix the problem so i changed the mysql back to what it was it was at first $dbtype = "MySQL";
i changed it to $dbtype = "mysql";
but changed it back after it didnt work so i really have no clue as to what is goin on.
Thats why i came to this forum and posted.

That error is normally indicating that you are not getting access to your database. And the dbtype must remain as MySQL. Turn $display_errors = TRUE;
