A. Please refer from posting things like that. We have a Pastebin for that at http://www.uniformserver.com/pastebin/ The link is also at the top of this page. B. Check you make sure that your MySQL is started. As kevinm said, some programs use MySQL like SAM, and i know that 3Ds Max's License Management Software does also... so check to make sure there is no other one running. If you have a single installation of MySQL, you have to uninstall it. If there is a file called LIBMYSQL.DLL in the C:/Windows and C:/Windows/Syetm32 folder, delete it!
