Okay, I think I understand now. If you notice, tcp port 3306 is "listening" when you are logged in as both the administrator and as a "regular user". Port 3306 is the MySQL server/daemon.
Your problem isn't with the MySQL server. Your MySQL server is started and waiting on connections. Your problem is with "connecting" to the server. This is an entire different issue, which is constantly asked on this list. Your problem is with the permissions you have set for MySQL. We can discuss this more, and I will tell you how to fix it, but first I have a question. I am not familiar with this "winmysqladmin manager" program. But, I suggest that you take it out of the startup for all users and leave it in the startup for only the admin user. Can you try that, then restart the entire system (Win2K), and tell me if you are still experiencing problems? I suspect that you really don't have any problems at all, other than the one you created by putting the "winmysqladmin manager" program in startup for all users. It has fooled you into believing that your MySQL server wasn't running. Respectfully, Charles Q.
