I guess I just didn’t know what I was doing. I think the E drive version was copied there maybe. I've made several intermittent attempts to build a Drupal site over the years and installed xampp in 2007 and one in 2013.
One on the C drive and a another on the E drive from 2007. Somehow, over the years I managed to install a couple, that is two separate, xampp Control Panels v3.2.1. MySQL - Problem with an extra XAMPP Controler on Windows XP.> improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method - Can this string of related issues be solved by updating XAMPP and MySQL and Drupal? - July 30.2014.
