Crap. The list won't let me send the graphic through, and I can't host it anywhere ATM. When I run winmysqladmin.exe it comes up with a gui showing that it's version 1.4 and that's where it asks for a user/pass and says it's creating a my.ini

That's where I'm confused. When I install 4, I just click Next, accepting all of the defualts. Then I run winmysqladmin.exe(I can't connect to the db until I do). When I do this I get the screen shown in the attached screeenshot. Then I run mysql.exe and I can create the new database. When I install 5, I accepted all of the defaults except for setting a security password for root(since I didn't do that with 4). I don't have a winmysqladmin.exe to run, and mysqladmin.exe just quits on me. When I run mysql.exe and attempt to create a new database exactly as I did in 4, it gives me the error I mentioned in my original post. So, AFAIK, I'm not setting any privileges. I'm not sure how the admin user in the gui plays into it as I don't provide any login info when I run mysql.exe with 4 or 5.
