I am a newbie, so be kind...AND PLEASE HELP ME....

I just installed MySQL 4.0.13 on WinXP and can start the mysqld-nt service but when I execute any command line option - mysql, mysqlshow, mysqladmin all I get is this Error 2013.

This is what my.ini in \windows looks like:

# Example mysql config file.
# Copy this file to c:\my.cnf to set global options
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run the program with --help to get a list of available options

# This will be passed to all mysql clients
