Error 2013 when running Configuration Wizard

 Hi

I am having a problem with installing MySQL 5.0 Community Edition on a Windows XP Professional laptop.
The install program itself works, but the configuration wizard that comes up afterwards doesn't.

In the wizard, I choose all the default settings, and everything goes fine until the very last window, when it's time to "execute" the settings. On the very last step, "Apply Security Settings", the configuration fails, and a window pops up that tells me Error 2013: Lost connection to the MySQL server during query. That is followed by a message telling me to open port 3306 for access on my firewall.

I don't think the firewall is the problem. I have granted MySQL unlimited inbound and outbound access. I have even tried turning the firewall off, but the configuration won't even work then. BTW, I use Symantec's Client Firewall and Antivirus.

I have searched the MySQL documentation and their online forums to little avail. It seems many other people have this same problem, but no one knows how to fix it. A few have gotten a working system after un-/re-installing, but I have done that multiple times with both the essential and the complete packages, and the configuration still won't work.

I really have no idea what to do now, and I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,
