I tried re-installation this morning to no avail... it just didnt ask the second time, and i looked at C:/windows/my.ini, however all it had was  
	Code:
	[WinMySQLAdmin]
Server=C:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe
 and second thing, what do you mean in *.* in
	Quote:
	
	
		| grant all privileges on *.* to yourusername@localhost identified by 'yourpassword' with grant option; | 
	
 thanks for the speedie responses
EDIT: oh, i forgot to mention i just got EQAdmin to conect to the database, using root and no password (world.exe and db.ini require a password) and 'local host'
	Code:
	[GENERAL]
DBNAME=eq
DBHOST=localhost
DBUSERNAME=root
DBPASSWORD=
