Hi, I checked the path, it is correct. I also tried from c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-max-nt --install and got the following,
The service already exists! The current server installed: C:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe So what I can tell is I am not running mysqld-max-nt like I thought I was, but my.ini has all my Innodb definitions. Any idea of what I should do, again if I start mysqld-max-nt --console from command prompt The server runs fine and when I start winmysqladmin.exe, all server info is correct including databases etc, however when I restart the pc, and winmysqladmin.exe starts from the startup folder the server does not start.

Check your ini file to make sure the path reflects the proper location of the database.
