I downloaded latest 3.2x version of Mysql database for win32, and I've installed on my win2000 machine, installed as a service successfully, but always, always get the 1067 error when trying to start the service. I have a very basic my.cnf file in root of c, no help.

That simply means that it didn't respond to the control function (i.e. it didn't start, or hung on startup).

Try just starting the executable by itself (c:\mysql\bin\mysqld ) and see what it writes to the console..
