How to fix "Found option without preceding group in config file my.ini at line: 1"

I used Open Server 5.2.2 to make rAthena (Ragnarok Online) works, but software shows this in MySQL Debugging Logs to me

error: Found option without preceding group in config file: d:\server\ragnarok\hectorro\03_openserver\modules\database\MySQL-5.6\my.ini at line: 1 Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted

It's trying to run MySQL, but doesn't work. I've tried to change unicode to ANSI, but as it said that it is a temporary file, it changed itself to UTF-8-BOM when I press start server.

See the comment below for my.ini

100% Sure

my.ini file 

Open,
Save As..
Encoding >> Select ANSI

the file my.ini should be saved as ANSI encode,and [mysqld] group at the start of the file.
