Hi Steven, thanks for still trying for me
Basically I have two wampservers, one at c:/wamp
with c:/wamp/apps/mysql/mysql5.0.51b/data <-- that one I would like to run for once.
as well as c:/wamp/apps/mysql/mysql5.1.36/data
using d:/mysql/ for data.
The newer is installed at c:/wamp/wamp
with data at what is, I suppose the default location c:/wamp/wamp/apps/mysql/mysql5.1.36/data
There is no vital data overhere.
The my.ini of the one I really would like to see back, mysql 5.10, says, with most comments removed:

# net start MySQL41

================================
So basically the elements are all there, for what I am aware of, I just have no idea how to start it in such a way that I can make database dumps! And also no idea wether there are dll's running around.
