MySQL won't start

[LindaM13]

I installed Xampp on my G Partition G:\xampp after several tries on C:/program files (x86) didn’t work. Still can’t get MySQL to work. I’ve tried the advice given to other people, what am I doing wrong?

System and log files as follows.
Windows 7, 64 bit
xampp-win32-5.6.12-0-VC11-installer

I would say MySQL IS started.
The red cross just means that you have not registered a windows service for this app, which is absolutely okay.
You can start and use the apps without any windows services.
