correct phpMyadmin mysql script to alter mysql event sql mode (mysql log: Incorrect definition of table mysql.event: expected column 'sql_mode' at position 14). WAMP on vista home premium 32 bit.

Hello,
I am setting up a localhost  on a dell lalptop with vista home premium, 32 bit. The site is a highly modified oscommerce site.I successfully installed WAMP with the following versions:
mysql 5.1.3, apache: 2.2.11 (just noticed this  version number does not show up on the WAMP monitor), PhpMyAdmin:3.1.1, PHP: 5.2.8 .
The site is up and running but not communicating with the server. The MSQL site has a solution that seems promising. It is on http://lists.mysql.com/commits/44927 near the bottom of the page.  The thread is " bk commit into 5.1 tree (davi:1.2566) BUG#35824. However, when I try to copy and paste the script into PhpMyAdmin, I get an error. What should this script be in order to alter the sql_mode?

Thank you for your help.
Julie
