Guys I installed xampp with mysql yday. managed to created a simple db with a single table.
This morning, for some reason Apache is running in my control panel but mysql gives a 'Error:mySQL Shoudown unexpectedly.' Reading the log, apparently some "innodb_table_stats" cannot be found/reached. If it helps, I was playing with the my.cnf as discussed here (MySQL Server has gone away when importing large sql file) yday.
Follows the full log.

2013-12-05 09:18:17 2660 [ERROR] InnoDB: Attempted to open a previously opened tablespace. Previous tablespace intrasdata@00201@002e0@002e0/intrasextract uses space ID: 2 at filepath: .\intrasdata@00201@002e0@002e0\intrasextract.ibd.

InnoDB: Error: could not open single-table tablespace file .\mysql\innodb_index_stats.ibd
InnoDB: We do not continue the crash recovery, because the table may become
InnoDB: corrupt if we cannot apply the log records in the InnoDB log to it.
InnoDB: To fix the problem and start mysqld:
InnoDB: 1) If there is a permission problem in the file and mysqld cannot
InnoDB: open the file, you should modify the permissions.
InnoDB: 2) If the table is not needed, or you can restore it from a backup,
InnoDB: then you can remove the .ibd file, and InnoDB will do a normal
InnoDB: crash recovery and ignore that table.
InnoDB: 3) If the file system or the disk is broken, and you cannot remove
InnoDB: the .ibd file, you can set innodb_force_recovery > 0 in my.cnf
InnoDB: and force InnoDB to continue crash recovery here.
