MySQL as service not running

[mktsgm]

I installed XAMPP 1.7.7 on Windows 7. While installing I have deactivated UAC. I selected Apache, MySQL & Filezilla to start as service. While Apache & filezilla started fine as service, MySQL simply said 'not started' from control panel. Unable to start manually too. Msg is "Error: MySQL Service not started".
However, if I start mysql_start.bat from xampp folder, MySQL is running. But this may need to be run everytime I boot the computer. I do not know why MySQL only not starting as windows service. I faced no problem when I installed in on XP system.
Please help,
Thanks in adv,
mktsgm

Hi mktsgm,

Can you start MySQL from the control panel, if you don't have registered the MySQL Service?
Also take a look into your \xampp\mysql\data\mysql_error.log File for further messages.

best wishes,
