Check your Event Log, it might be able to give you hints on what's keeping MySQL from starting. To do that bring up a Start->Run dialog and type
Code:
compmgmt.msc
Under System Tools on the left hand pane, select Event Viewer.

Look in the System Log for events labeled "Service Control Manager" -- these events will say if a service (like the mysqld service) failed to start and will give a reason why.
