I've just installed MySQL but keep getting an error message. Can anyone help please?

Error message - Error Nr. 2003 Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Installed using - mysql-essential-4.1.13-win32.msi

OS - Win XP Pro

Thanks. Peter

Did you remember to START your mysql server? At a command prompt type

net start mysql

then try to connect again. The installer package sets up your server but doesn't turn it on.
