hello
as you see i've just registered in here
well i've searched the forum in order to find if my problem is there or not
but im not sure about it
anyway
i've installed xampp v 1.8.2.1
apache service is going good and fine
but the mysql wont start it gives me the error

4:16:53 PM [mysql] Problem detected!
4:16:53 PM [mysql] Port 3306 in use by ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\my.ini" MySQL"!
4:16:53 PM [mysql] MySQL WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
4:16:53 PM [mysql] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
4:16:53 PM [mysql] or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen on a different port
4:16:53 PM [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL service...

well this error i encouraged before its because i have another mysql (client, engine) installed and fixed it
but after i have formatted and installed every thing again i can't remember how to fix it and get the mysql xampp service to run
i tried to change the port in the config mysql tap to 3307
and also in the my.ini file to 3307
but when i did it, it gave me the msg

4:21:47 PM [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL service...

and nothing happen

so if you please could help me with this thing

Don't forget to change port in XAMPP control panel settings.
