MySQL Installation Problems!!! Please Help

Hi all,

Totally new to MySQL and have attempted to install it but its gone wrong somewhere.

I have installed mysql-4.0.21-win and it seemed to work fine. I ran the code C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install before creating a my-example.cnf. When i type the command NET START mysql i get the following error message "System error 3 has occurred. The system cannot find the path specified.".

I have looking in the Administrative Tools under Services and mysql is on the list although its 'path to executable' is 'C:MySQL\bin\mysqld-nt MySQL' shouldnt it be 'C:\MySQL\bin\mysqld-nt MySQL' (with a \ in C:\) ?

Is this causing the problem? If so how do i change the directory?

Thanks for any help,

Mike
