MySQL Control Center sucks?

[Windows 98 se] I recently used the following tutorial http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/index.htm to download, install, and configure apache, php, and mysql. It is and excelent tutorial which steps through the entire process in a way almost anyone could understand it. I got it all to work on the first try! Having said that, there is one thing that's being problematic. It's 'MySQL Control Center.' The tutorial has you download it http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysqlcc.html in order to make things easier for the inexperienced user, and when the program works, it does just that. Problem is that the program doesn't work very often. The tutorial has you download a beta version. Between crashes, it worked just enough to configure mysql. Someone suggested upgrading to non beta. I did and that one won't work at all.(see attached error msg.) Is this a problem with the program, or what? Also, does anyone know of a tutorial on 'command line' ways to do the things that 'MySQL Control Center'does, (or would do if it ran properly?) thanks in advance, Dale begin 666 error_msg.gif M1TE&.#EA<0%W/<```````A(2$(2$A,;&QM[>WO__`/______________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M____________________________________________________________ M_____________________RP````<0%W`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`P 8K[+"YLNKKL<@F^U6ARC;K+*]06B7MM-16 M:^VUV&:K[;:R&<;MM^"&*^ZXY)9KK6CFIJONNNRVZRY4Z+XK[[STUFLOM?'> MJ^^^_/9;;[[^!BSPP 17"W#!"">L\,) '<SPPQ!'_*^W$E=L\<7E.HSQQAQW M/)7&'H<L\LA"@4SRR2AO;+)2K2<\LLPS[LR4@(88 !`,2L\\X94_Q4S3;?
