MySQL not running on Win XP Pro SP2

I just loaded MySql 4 onto Win xp pro. I want to learn to use MySQL with PHP and have a book by Julie Meloni. Unfortunately none of the commands she lists in the book for use with MySQL 4 work. I can't get anything to run, other than the mysql-opt command. Everything else comes up with error messages.

For example, mysqladmin create testDB comes up with "access denied to create testDB" I tried turning off the XP SP2 firewall but that doesn't help.

Then, if I try to run the "use testDB" command, I get the error message "use is not recognized as a valid internal or external command".

Is there a MySQL package that works on XP Pro or do I need to go the MS SQL route??

If there is, what is the best way to learn???
