Hello Dario

First:
This error doesn't say anything! It is one of this useless messages from Windoze.

Look under C:\mysql\data\ there should be an "mysql.err" file.
This should contain some error messages.

You should also start mysqld (not mysqld-opt and not mysqld-nt) from the DOS commandline like this:
C:\mysql\bin> mysqld --standalone

Then some errors are printed to this DOS window too.

BTW:
You should always give us your OS and mysql version.

Tschau
Christian
