can't start mysql

[kcslabaugh]

More often than not, I start XAMPP and can't start mySQL. Usually I figure it out, but today I'm stumped. The control panel tells me to copy the log window into the forum.

8:59:40 PM [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL app...

8:59:42 PM [mysql] Status change detected: stopped

8:59:42 PM [mysql] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
8:59:42 PM [mysql] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

8:59:42 PM [mysql] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

Also here's the log file, from the same time stamp
