No Gavin I am not!! MySQL starts automatically at Boot.

Thanks Dan
I started MyAdmin and found that the user 'Ianw' was no longer there - 
so I gave 'Any User' full privileges. This made no difference to my problem.

So then I went back to MyAdmin and created a New User 'Ianw' and give 
him full privileges and selected all Schemas.

Back to Base - still get 'Communications Failure'. Tried again this time 
selecting 'Password Needed' and this time it asked me for my Password 
but after that came back with the 'Communications Failure'

Any more ideas (I don't have much hair left!!!)
