Try running mysqld without the -opt. Check out this site
www.apachefriends.org it has a great all in one package that can be
installed on Windows and Linux. If you install it on Windows it has the
option to setup mysql and apache to run as services. This XAMPP package
is a no brainer!!
Hope this helps.
