WAMP 2.0f MySQL error
So I just got this new “NetBook” and I go to install WAMP and everything goes great, until MySQL crashes hard for no reason. An hour or so of searching found me a solution on the WAMP forums (which is probably the first place I should have looked…)

I found my solution for this. After trying all of the above it still would not work, but after going into services.msc (start–>run–>services.msc) I was able to get the mysql service working.
Just click the “Log On” tab on the mysql service’s properties and check “Allow service to interact with the desktop.” I hope this helps others.![]()
This is probably the most obscure XAMP issue I’ve come across, and it’s nice to know that someone out there on the internet has come up with a solution.
3 cheers for helpful strangers.

I’d run opensolaris. Go to http://opensolaris.com and get a free disk, kev. Sun now owns mySQL, so there should be little hassle. By the way, where in CA do you live? I’m in The Bay Area.
Yes, I’m also in the Bay Area.
