I have installed MySQL many times before, but this time I am having a serious problem. It's on a windows machine and I can't get the service to start. It's only a small server I'm putting together as a side project, I'm thinking it as something to do with the fact that I desided to use Windows XP instead of dishing out the cash for Server. Either way, any suggestions? I've tried just about everything I can think of right down to using the installer cleanup utility from windows to rip it and reinstall it.
