Problem Installing MySQL on Win XP Pro

[PaulBunyan]

I am trying to install mysql on windows xp professional. The installation program says there should be a file named my-example.cnf in the installation directory that I need to copy to the root directory. When I installed it and looked for that file, it wasn't there. I went ahead and made a file named "my.cnf" in the root directory with what it said should be in there. I restarted my computer, but mysql wasn't running. What should I do?
