That looks like a normal shutdown to me (not caused by error).

Just a thought... CTRL+ALT+DEL and tab to processes. Start mysqld, and make sure that it starts and stays running. Then try to access it. Does it disappear then?

(btw, he's using mysql 4 too)

\data\mysql.err

Should be other logs in that directory too.

try mysqld-nt.exe should be in your mysql/bin folder

Thats what I use on winxp pro but I'm still running mysql 4.0

I've never run MySQL on a windows box, so I don't expect to be much help troubleshooting "services". But there should be a mysql log file somewhere that would contain error messages. If you can find that, copy & paste the last few lines here.
