Thanks, Luciano. First, I should say that the problem seems to be solved by carefully eliminating all traces of the original, failed installation, then restarting the entire install/config process. This time I avoided the TCP/IP setup, which was not needed because the current system is for stand-alone use. for the same reason, I also left out the security setup.
After the config process, I used the netstat -nab cmd, with and without directing to findstr, and found no mention of port 3306. I can only guess that the earlier problem--"other" progs using 3306--was caused by a residue of the original, failed config attempt. NOTE: Now, however, I find I've managed somehow to config a version that leaves me without admin status, and "@localhost" has few priveleges. Any suggestions? thanks...~jess .................................... Jess, I could run the following command to figure out what process is using the 3306 tcp port : netstat -nab | findstr 3306 The last colun of the output should be the pid of the process listeninning on port 3306.
