Are you sure the mysql service is running? You can either check in the control panel, but an easier is way is to launch WinMySQLadmin, which should come with your distribution. Check in the bin directory for the following file winmysqladmin.exe. Launching this program will start the service automatically. It will then minimize itself on your toolbar as an icon. You can accessed it from there to turn the service on/off
