  <p>Then i get a user account control to allow changes when i try to start mysql? something to do with net.exe? in C:\Windows, im not sure of the rest of the directory</p>
  
  <p>If i say no to the user account cocntrol then it says this
  00:33:49  [mysql]   There may be an error, return code: 1223 - The operation was cancelled by the user.</p>
  
  <p>If i say yes nothing happens? Apparently its windows 5.1 erroring? but the directory doesnt even exist? i deleted it all from Program Files and Program Files (x86), Also uninstalled all mysql components? Any thoughts</p>
