MySQL Administrator won't start

I can access mySQL server from another box, but the administrator won't start on the box that MySQL is installed on. The little bubble starts to work, then it just disappears. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.
I am able to create,edit etc through the command line on the box and through MySQL administrator on another box

Thanks

Start it from the command line in a terminal window and see what error messages appear. BTW this is general advice useful whenever a GUI app won't start.
