Trouble with installing MySQL Server 5.0

I have run the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard and used all of the default settings, when I get to the “execute” part I get an error message “Could not start the service MySQL. Error:0” when the service is trying to start and the wizard cannot complete.  

I have looked in the manual and there is nothing in relation to this problem, can someone please help as I am new to MySQL and I am teaching myself as part of my final year project at Unicersity.  

My machine is running Windows XP SP2 and I have no other database programs installed apart from MS Access 2007  

Many thanks in advanced
