in addition : when issue : "mysqld-nt --skip-grant-tables" mysql stop automatically, and in process tab on task manager there is no any process name mysqld*.
thats why i just added a line "skip-grant-tables" on my.ini. my next question is can we address this problem by installing 4.1.9. and/or delete any data in mysql\data\mysql. and copy paste database from 4.1.5 to 4.1.9. thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
