Hi I have downloaded MySQL, carefully following the instructiopns in the documentation. I have tried to install it on a Compaq Armarda Laptop running windows 2000. It would appear that some corruption is taking place, even though I have not used a download accelerator. Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] (C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.
