There's another thing... in the event viewer apperas the error "Do you alredy have another mysqld server running on port 3306?" I do not have one. And another saying "Aborting". And that's all.

Guess you have a service using port 3306, issue an "netstat -a" and see what's listening on port 3306 (if something is), and kill it... If you have installed MySQL previously, the service exists, you should do a "mysqld -remove", or remove the service manually (if it exists). Maybe another app using that port number?

Check your config file, I noticed you're using the msi installer (I sincerely dislike it). IMHO its not safe and many errors come from it because you just can't predict every user action. I always use the zipped version.

thanks matías
