cant access mysql

[fling]

Hi.. I am a newbie and wondered if someone could just guide me around this error message


17:00:39 [mysql] MySQL Service detected with wrong path
17:00:39 [mysql] Change XAMPP MySQL and Control Panel settings or
17:00:39 [mysql] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
17:00:39 [mysql] Found Path: c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe
17:00:39 [mysql] Expected Path: e:\mysql\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=e:\mysql\mysql\bin\my.ini mysql
17:00:39 [mysql] Problem detected!
17:00:39 [mysql] Port 3306 in use by "c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt.exe"!
17:00:39 [mysql] MySQL WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
17:00:39 [mysql] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
17:00:39 [mysql] or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen on a different port[/color]

My question is where do I need to go to correct it ???

Thx

Good question. More or less, yoz have to go "into your yourself" and remember, when and where you already installed MySQL previsously. I think, that there is already a MySQL menu in your Start Menu, even if not, you have to remove / deinstall this installation, it collides with your newer Xampp installation.

yes it's right, you have two mysql. you can still using both, if you configure the port of mysql. but the question is "why we must have two mysql server?it's just make the pc is slower........!
