OK, first I'm not running Windows 8, I'm running Windows 10.
Next, why is it trying the wrong path? Can I change the path? How?

I need this program for a class, but the teacher hasn't been much help on getting this straightened out. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Because you obviously made an Xampp Installation to D: instead of f:
And then you did not deinstall properly the D: installation.

You have to look for the WIndows Services (dont ask me, where to find these in WIndows10), whatchout for "Apache" and apply the proper Path. Same thing for "MySQL" Service.

No, I did not make xampp on D. I know enough about computers to know how to set up a program. There is the option of setting it up on C:, and when I was there, I changed it to F:. That is why I can't understand why it follows the wrong path.

Ok, then i cannot help you as the error message is an error by itself.
