When I had the problem of (under Vista) starting "mysqld", from command prompt I always did this, "start mysqld -b..." (here "start" is like Unix s trailing "&"), and never had a problem. It showed up running on the service list. Maybe something like Unix s set-user-id is in effect in "mysqld.exe". Now for the first time I learn of command "NET", and its options. I do not remember seeing "net start MySQL" in MySQL s help when I installed it, only that which I above described. This is not so much an OS problem, but a problem at the point where the OS s peculiarities and a big package s nature intersect. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
