MySQL service won't start (1067 error)

[[e-mail]]

Hi All,

I've seen a million threads now (give or take) with a title/issue  
similar to this one.  And while most of them seem to tell me what's  
*wrong* (e.g. "bad values in your cnf or ini file"), they don't tell  
what's *right*.

I'm currently using Win XP Pro 32-bit as my server and I want to run  
MySQL.  I'm consistently getting:

	"System error 1067 has occurred"

Will someone please provide straightforward and explicit instructions  
for resolving the issue once and for all?

Best,
Michael
