Description:
You have to be a bit careful in setting up passwords if you plan to use passwords in the current Windows version of MySQL Control Centre. The current version - 0.93 Beta still requires OLD PASSWORDS.

I had to explicitly set the root@localhost password to be an OLD_PASSWORD, which will allow the control centre client to work properly.

How to repeat:
Unless you explicitly set up the password you use to access a MySQL server on MySQL Control Centre as an OLD_PASSWORD() then it crashes endlessly on Windows ME. This puzzled me for two and a half hours! 

Once this is done however, the program runs with no problems.

Suggested fix:
Amend the Windows Control Centre to cope with either old (pre 4.1) or new passwords.

This is a known issue (see bug #408 in particular), as the binary has not yet been linked to the 4.1.1 client.

Thank you
