RE: Error 2003: Cannot connect to mySQL server on localhost <1006 1>

I would get the latest versions of both MySQL and MyODBC and reinstall,
carefully following the instructions in the MySQL manual on Windows
installation. It all runs under XP Pro SP2, I am running it.

Subject: Error 2003: Cannot connect to mySQL server on localhost <10061>

If anyone can help, this must be a simple problem for the experienced.

I installed mySQL 4.0.13 a couple of years ago when I was taking a
java course and it was working ok until I recently reinstalled windows
xp with their updates.

Using the CMD window to access mySQL, I get an error 2003: cannot
connect server on localhost 10061. I checked that mySQL was running on
localhost and port 3306. Also when I telnet localhost 3306, I cannot
open a connection to host on port 3306. When I enable winmysqladmin, I
get ODBC driver 3.51 not found.

I am using mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar. I believe that
is to connect my java application to the Microsoft ODBC.

I suspect I no longer have correct ODBC driver but I'm not sure what I
have. Do I need to download the 3.51 driver from mySQL or get it from
Microsoft? I do not see any driver in the control panel nor my program
files. Can someone provide me any guidance so I can get mySQL working
again? I am using it to develop a program for myself and further
develop my java skills.

If I download the newest version of mySQL, do you believe it will work
with my windows xp? The window home edition version I am using is the
following:
v 5.1(build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.o50301-1519:servicePack2)

Any help to set me in the right direction is appreciated.
