You are already running mysql by typing that. You should have read the last line when starting mysql: Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql expects you to type in one of the commands listed by "help;" or some SQL-statements. There are some gui-tools for mysql-administration, e.g. http://phpmyadmin.net http://www.mysql.com/products/mysqlcc/ > another that might be of interest, when my winmysqladmin runs > at startup, in the environment tab says 'Not Found Driver > 3.51 Not Found'. Is this related? Not really. winmysqladmin looks for the MyODBC-driver. I don't think you currently need that.
