I've been using MySQL server (4.1) on my W2k machine for over a year 
w/no problems, connect from Tomcat and from Java stand-alone classes.. 
but the other day installed XAMPP (for PHP development, comes w/Apache, 
MySQL) and since then cannot connect at all..  I simply have no idea 
what's happening here.. I uninstalled XAMPP altogether (so now am back 
to only my 4.1 installation I've always had..)

when try to connect directly from DOS shell (mysql -u.. etc.) I get this 
error:

   ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

when in DOS shell navigate to c:\....MySQL Server 4.1\bin and try to run 
mysql.exe (this is how you restart server?) get exact same error..

am running out of options.. would truly appreciate some suggestions 
here.. thank you very much..

Frances
