How start mysql 5 in vista

It is a very common error when installing mysql in your vista machines.



A workaround for this is to open your command prompt with administrative privilege.



Then type this in your command prompt.

cd\
cd "Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin"
mysqld-nt



try connecting again.



This is just a temporary fix and should be good until mysql gets updated to work on this machines. :)
