Steve, when you wanna run two MySQL servers on the same machine, do not use my.cnf !!! Try everything without it. Just change the options ofr the services and try again !

Why can one not use my.cnf if I specify --defaults-file=<something other than my.cnf> for the second instance?

The second instance is obviously reading the proper defaults file, it has the correct datadir, port memory variables set, all of which are being set in c:\myother.cnf and all of which show up in show variables when it is running??

If I can't use my.cnf at all then I can't run the first instance as a service which I need to..
