The latter shouldn't be an issue, since according to your screendump you want to run the MySQL server locally and connect to it locally as well? Anyway, the prob is that you are not starting the server properly, and you may also want to adjust your configuration. Just follow http://www.mysql.com/doc/W/i/Windows_installation.html and next pages, for instructions all the way.
