MySQL Service Stopping

I'm experiencing a problem with MySQL. We're running version 5.0 on a Windows 2003 server and anytime I try to access our databases through MySQL Administrator or MySQL Query Browser, the MySQL service stops.

When I logon to the server to restart the service I get a pop-up message asking if I want to send an error report to Microsoft. The error message says that MySQLD-NT.exe encountered a problem and needed to close. What would cause the executable to encounter a problem?

I don't understand why I can run my application, which is called through ColdFusion MX7) can run against the database fine but going through MySQL Admin or MySQL Query Browser causes the service to shutdown.

Any advice or information is greatly appreciated!
