Do you have any firewall settings that might block port 3306 from
accepting connections? Examples: ZoneAlarm, or Windows XP Personal
Firewall. If so, do you find any configuration or logs indicating that
the firewall is blocking port 3306?

Do you have an entry for 'localhost' in the file
"%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"? The entry should map to the
IP address "127.0.0.1".

Do you find an error log at this location:
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-7\mysql\data\<hostname>.err
Where <hostname> is the name of your computer?
If so, do you find any useful information in it, indicating that the
MySQL server has started and is listening on port 3306 successfully?
