Mysql has gone away, the sequel.

[eristole]

you mean, winmysqladmin.exe.

hit ctrl, shift, esc.

(or to be stupid about it, just go start, run, type in "taskman" and hit enter.)

then look under processes. the one you should be mostly concerned about seeing there is "mysqld-nt.exe"

thats the big bopper of databases.. make sure thats running.
(if it isnt, it usually gets booted up when you run mysql admin so this probably isnt your problem but i'd check it so you have a solid base to stand on when you start to trouble shoot this.)

another thing to check, look in your "DB.ini" file, and double/quadruple check that your login/password matches what you see in winmysqladmin.exe(or as you so eloquently put it) that flashy green red light thingy next to my clock.

to find your l/p in that green red lighty thingy next to your clock.. right click on it, goto show me. look under the "my.ini setup" tab. and find your user and password.

i'm chalking this error up to a simple mistake in either your entering the L/P in your DB.ini or your granting permissions for it when you setup your Database.

imho however.. i'm a f***ing retard.

go figure, just some things that you might want to check out.
