Not to be impolite, but I'd say you should simply start the MySQL server :) Check system control > administration > services if there is a service called "Mysql", and if it's running. If not, install the service (I'd suggest to use winmysqladmin.exe for this) and start it. If you're having problems like the MySQL server starts but crashes immediately after starting, you can try this in a DOS window: c:\mysql\bin> mysqld --standalone --console This will give you output in the DOS window so you can see why it keeps crashing. And, of course, you can use any other server than mysqld, e.g. mysqld-max-nt.exe, to try the same. mysqld-max... has InnoDB tables switched on by default, and there is a good chance something's wrong in your setup and InnoDB can't create its tablespace etc. You will see all of this in the DOS window output, though.
