Tell us what that error is. Hope that helps.

Im sitting here using a self teach book to try to guide my way through it. Anyways, the book is discussing adding users and setting priveledges. Now the book is vague on how to do so, but I believe I use the bin/mysql.exe file (Im on windows obviously). Problem is when I go to it, all it does and open and close real fast. Am I doing something wrong?
