See the link in my previous post about how to create and run a shortcut as an administrator, a must do!
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11 ... rator.html - Code: Select all
11:19:13 PM [main] Running not as admin! This will work for all application stuff, but whenever you do
11:19:13 PM [main] something with services there will be a security dialogue! So think about running
11:19:13 PM [main] this application with administrator rights!

Remove the ticks and answer yes.
You can tick them again, when you have tested your installation and everything is working, to enable your servers to start on boot.

Under the heading "Anzeige-Einstellungen" click on the "Sprache - Language" and select English or English (United Kingdom).

Yes that the idea and you must agree it is much easier to read than just a plain text paste.
I was able to spot 2 things that the services were started from Installation and you wasn't running as an admin.
Go to
http://localhost/xammp/index.php and select you language and exercise the demos to check your installation is working as it should.
Then proceed to do what ever you wanted to do with it and enjoy.
It's must have been a great learning experience for you as you now know much more about the workings of this beast.
Best wishes and good luck.
