Look into the Windows event log what's the problem. (I can't read your event log.)

I am getting the same error on XP SP3 32-bit, Xampp 1.7.0 + patch.
When attempting to start the service from Services Console, Windows reports error, it cannot find file.
The screenshot is not exactly the same as shown, Apache starts but mysql does not, and Admin button is not active.
I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled since to no avail.
Funny thing is a previous version works flawlessly in another computer.
Checked event log, but don't know which application to look for, if I did I could filter View and tell you exactly what it is.
Please I need to develop on this other computer too.
Thanks.

Did you start the xampp console with Admin privileges ?

Delete the installed MySQL service and recreate it with the bachtfile.

"mysql" (if you try to start this service)

Yes, it's my computer and my account has admin privileges.
Funny thing is that I also installed xampp 1.7 on Vista 64, with UAC disabled, and it worked fine there.

no "mysql" entry in there.

Not really possible, because the svc-box is checked in your control panel.

Please post full instructions on how to do this. Thanks.

I have the same error as well (ERROR: MySql service not started [-1]). When my computer boots up, I continuously receive the following error on the Desktop until I manage to shut down the service (icon with traffic lights).

Win MySqlAdmin 1.4
Access violation at address 1000A1F7 in module LIBMYSQL.DLL. Read of address 00000000.

My computer OS is WinXP Service Pack 3, XAMPP 1.7.0 with xampp-patch2-win32-1.7.0 installed. Despite uninstalling and reinstalling program with and without patch, the error is consistent.

Cheers,
John

Yeah, same thing here, haven't tried yet the fix proposed by Wiedmann, will post results here.
I have an older version of XAMPP working flawlessly on another computer, with same 32-bit OS, so I think that there is a bug in latest release.

Not entirely sure how, but I managed to get MySql working again. I tried Wiedmann's suggestion, but could not determine exactly how his instructions should be implemented. So, I went to the XAMPP/MYSQL folder and double-clicked on mysql-uninstallservice.bat, then resetroot.bat, and mysql_installservice.bat. It worked fine and computer boots up without the error code I mentioned earlier. Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
John

To get rid of the Access Violation error message just remove this program from your Startup folder. The tool is not needed, also make sure never to click on the Admin button for MySQL.

I never got errors at startup, just my sql server not starting and Admin button dimmed (not active).
What you did is simply more visual than the Run commands Wiedmann posted.
Let me ask you, does mysql run at startup as a service, just like Apache?
I never had problems with Apache server, just mysql.

No, maybe you are looking at the screenshot, that is not mine.
My service box was not checked.
Thanks anyway.
