Most probably your MySQL server isn't running. Using Windows Explorer or a DOS window, cd to c:\mysql\bin and start winmysqladmin.exe. This should start the server, and you will see a traffic light symbol in the system tray. The light should be green. If this fails, cd to c:\mysql\bin in a DOS window and enter: mysqld --console --standalone This will show you any startup errors that encounter, so you can track down the problem. When the MySQL server is up, try mysql.exe again. This should give you an SQL prompt.
