You can use the winmysqladmin tool located in the bin directory to install it as a service. (I'm not sure wether this also works on a '98SE machine)

Everything I need to do so far seems to work but I would like to arrange it so that the server starts up automatically when I switch on the machine. Maybe I am too stupid but I don't understand the section (2.4.3) in the reference manual on 'Starting and stopping MySQL automatically', but then again this section might not be relevant to Windows users anyway? If anyone has suggestions what I should do, I would welcome them. Thanks in advance. Gerhard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Gerhard H. W.
