How to I fix this in mysql administrator - The storage engine you selected is not enabled currently

I had this message once before but briefly. A restart probably fixed it but not this time.

The storage engine you selected is not enabled currently

It appears when I attempt to create a new table in MySQL Admin

thanks for any help

Could you please provide a create table statement for your table?

MySQL have several database engines, MyISAM, InnoDB are examples.
The engine can be specified using ENGINE keyword in create table statement as follows:

create table table 1 (...) engine=myisam;

Open in new window

Well I was using manual controls to create the table no statement.

It would however be something like below...
which also causes the error. At the moment I think its InnoDB and when I access the list of them many of them are in red including InnoDB.

I've not made changes to MySQL admin can anything locally cause it
CREATE TABLE sessions
(
    id varchar(32) NOT NULL,
    access int(10) unsigned,
    data text,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

Open in new window

Sorry i said using the query window causes the error but it doesnt
OK heres an existing table, so I could probably create tables still however I'd still like to know whats causing this so I can use manual abilitys in the admin interface

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `webtg2008`.`users`;
CREATE TABLE  `webtg2008`.`users` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `uname` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',
  `fname` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',
  `lname` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
  `email` varchar(45) NOT NULL default '',
  `country` varchar(20) default NULL,
  `zipcode` bigint(20) default NULL,
  `datejoined` datetime default NULL,
  `passwd` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
  `access` varchar(15) NOT NULL default 'member',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=8 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
