mysql winxp starts and stops

[ianmh]

When I install mysql and start it for the first time it works fine. I can do mysql queries with no problems. But if I restart my computer or stop mysql from then on when I go to start it just starts and then stops 2 seconds later. If I uninstall and reinstall the whole thing it works again for 1 time only.

I think this is the error.

040109 18:49:24 InnoDB: Started
040109 18:49:24 Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist
040109 18:49:24 Aborting

040109 18:49:24 InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
040109 18:49:26 InnoDB: Shutdown completed
040109 18:49:26 MySql: Shutdown Complete

Any ideas?

Okay, I think I figured it out myself, but I feel kind of dumb. I deleted all the databases from install. :(
