Problem with install on windows

After I installed mysql 4.0.18 on Windows XP I could not use it.

It seems the mysql database does not show up. I looked in the data directory
and it is there, but if I do a show databases from the mysql client only the
test database shows up.

any thing else I try causes errors.

any ideas....I bet it is simple.

Re: Problem with install on windows

I would wager you are not logged in as root.

mysql -u root -p

You're probably not logged in as root.
