http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22WINDOWS+ME%22+MYSQL finds discussions about this. You should join one of those discussions or see if your answer lies there.

As I noted in this forum, the last Windows ME machine was off-lined last month so I can't install MySQL or check out any product/setting on Windows ME. All I can do is to supply direction and history.

You also have left out a lot of details about what MySQL you tried to install, what error messages you are getting and more. The clues are in those error messages.
