title: mysql error: could not start the service mysql on local computer error 193: oxc1
body: <p>I was going thru the charset change to utf8 on my local MySQL(5.1) databases, had done some changes only via phpmyadmin to the dbs and straight to my.ini - file. When I booted my pc (win xp pro sp 3), MySQL server is not starting up at all and I can't figure out why. I changed the ini-file back as it was, but no. If I'd re-install the whole thing, do they existing dbs remain just fine (I think so) and after the install they're good to go?</p>
  
  <p>Any clues what could be causing it and what you think about the re-install?</p>
  
  <p>All the help mostly appreciated, my first post here, hope this forum is alive! :)</p>
