[snip] All of this is occuring on the same W2K machine (with Apache, MySQL, etc). When I log off admin and log on as a power user (same machine) I have the aforementioned problems. [/snip]
Kirk, OK, this makes sense. The "power-user(s)" needs to be given permissions to start and stop services on the machine. Admin is, by default, the only user allowed to start/stop services. Can you start the service as admin, log-off, log back on, and have access to MySQL?
