What I think is going on is the version of mysql that's doing this
I use version 5.1.x
All my PC's run Win7 64bit, and run them fine.
I guess the other tools work ok?
Also, the query that has Bronze in it has this query
SELECT name,id FROM items WHERE name LIKE "%Bronze%"
-- does this query run?
I just uploaded this version of mysql to the site a second ago.
