If I go directly into the MySQL bin directory and open mysql.exe, mysql will not permit me to do a damn thing.

I get an 'Access denied' ERROR 1044 message.

If I go to command prompt and into mysql -u root etc...

It will let me! I can create databases, grant privileges and so forth.

However, when I load World.exe or Boot5zones.bat...

I get a spam of things, including this line everyonce in a while:

'Database error: Lost connection, attempting to recover...
DB Query Error 2006: MySQL server has gone away

And at the bottom of both world.exe and boot5zones.bat, is this wonderfulicious message!

Runtime errors:

MySQL Error #1405 or #2001 means your MySQL server rejected the username and password you presented it.

So I'm guessing the problem is: Upfront, MySQL will not accept me. I assume these problems are related and lie within MySQL, any ideas on how to fix? Thanks for your time.
