Ran into some troubles with XAMPP after MySQL wasn't starting. So, I typed in the command prompt: 'net start MySQL', and it gave me this error message listed in the subject line.

Anyone know how to alleviate this? Thanks for your help!

This did the trick for me:

Of course, in this case, you have to completely clean up the xampp folder, which doesn't always happen. I guess I backed up the necessary files first (data folder from mysql folder and the htdocs folder). Uninstall XAMPP. Check the xampp folder for any content that remains and delete everything. You may want to reboot afterwards, just in case. Then reinstall XAMPP. Copy the backed-up folders back to their respective places, and hopefully, mySql will work again in XAMPP.
