use this it's more stable but i hope u are using wmware 7 cause if u use 8 it's not gonna work also not to forget u also have to do this:
1.Open up WinMySQL (if it instantly closes the window - rightclick the trayicon and select "Show Me").
2.Goto "my.ini setup". and move the two lines "user=root" and "password=pass" from where they are initially (red) to
up to the [mysqld] section (green). ("moving" means copy&pasting those lines and deleting the old ones in case I wasn't clear enough)
[mysqld]
basedir=C:/xampp/mysql
#bind-address=localhost
datadir=C:/xampp/mysql/data
#language=C:/xampp/mysql/share/your language directory
#slow query log#=
#tmpdir#=
#port=3306
user=root
password=pass
#set-variable=key_buffer=16M
[WinMySQLadmin]
Server=C:/xampp/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe
user=root
password=pass
3. Click "Save Modification
