This is probably not a Rails issue as such, so don't start hating Rails
just yet.

More stuff to try:

* Do you have the mysql gem installed? (It looks like you do, but...)
* What version of MySQL are you running? (Some people have reported
problems with 5.1; you may want to switch to 5.0.)

If it were my development setup, though, I'd avoid both MySQL and
Windows entirely. I don't use Windows, but my understanding is that
besides its being a pretty bad OS in general, a lot of Rails tools run
less smoothly on it than on *nix (you can use a *nix VM, though).
Likewise, MySQL is a pretty bad DB in comparison to systems like
PostgreSQL.

Best,
