Hi, thanks for the help.

I've been reading mysql.com, but I can't even seem to test if the server 
is running.

I type this in the Windows command prompt:
C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld" --console
[http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-server-first-start.html]

but an error comes up: ...not recognized as an internal or external 
command, operable program or batch file.

I made sure that the MySQL folder was in the correct location.

This is what's in the folder .\bin:

libmySQL.dll
my_print_defaults.exe
myisam_ftdump.exe
myisamchk.exe
myisamlog.exe
myisampack.exe
mysql.exe
mysql_upgrade.exe
mysqladmin.exe
mysqlbinlog.exe
mysqlcheck.exe
mysqld-nt.exe
mysqld-nt.map
mysqld-nt.pdb
mysqldump.exe
mysqlimport.exe
MySQLInstanceConfig.exe
mysqlshow.exe
perror.exe

Thanks!
