Xampp MYSQL & Apache will not start.

[Jorden1337]

Hello, I'm having a really huge problem that I can not find out at all, I cannot run MYSQL and Apache on Xampp.

I have a windows 8 computer and when I try to run it, it gives me this.

I have XAMPP running on administrative permissions.

Apache: 3:52:56 AM [Apache] Attempting to start Apache service...

I've looked up numerous videos online about both and tried changing ports, going into the config file, everything, I don't know what to do and it's extremely frustrating.

I DO NOT have skype, I'll show you the error logs MYSQL gives me.

I'm not very familiar with command prompt but perhaps i can get some suggestions on what can fix this problem? i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

To me it looks like you tried to install to program files directory previously and files still there. You should start over removing everything. Check services to see if your old installation is still running, first.
