That's funny. I have been using Mysql in Linux/BSD/Windows for almost 1 yr now and never encountered this. What version of Mysql are you using.

few correction from your previous post
leave the  innodb_data_home_dir as
innodb_data_home_dir =
and in next line add
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend

Here is my.ini from c:\windows\my.ini from one of my Windows server

-------------------------------------my.ini--------------------
[mysqld-nt]
basedir=c:/mysql/
datadir=c:/mysql/data
set-variable = log_bin=On
server-id=1
innodb_data_home_dir =
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata/ibdata1:100M:autoextend:max:2000M

[mysqld]
basedir=c:/mysql/
datadir=c:/mysql/data
set-variable = log_bin=On
server-id=1
innodb_data_home_dir =
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata/ibdata1:100M:autoextend:max:2000M

[WinMySQLAdmin]
Server=C:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe

-------------------------------------my.ini--------------------

If this does not works either file <filename.err> in c:\mysql\data (filename is the name of the NetBIOS name of the system)

Dont confuse if you still see folder name as database name and has MYD and MYI in data folder. This is perfectly normal

Do some simple test such as issuing a begin; <Some insert statement>; and then Rollback; instead of commit. The insert would have failed

And in event if any body has troubles due to Windows discussion in the list reply me directly.

Regards
