MySQL problems

8:53:58 PM [mysql] MySQL Service detected with wrong path
8:53:58 PM [mysql] Change XAMPP MySQL and Control Panel settings or
8:53:58 PM [mysql] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
8:53:58 PM [mysql] Found Path: "F:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="F:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini" MySQL
8:53:58 PM [mysql] Expected Path: f:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=f:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysql

Why this error, the Path: "F:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="F:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini" MySQL Doesn't exist on my computer. It did once, but no longer, so where is it picking it up from???
Thank for any help.

Not the path, but the service is still registered.
The information came from the service data.

From the Windows Registry.
