I don't know what happened to my MySQL. I already tried unstalling and reinstalling the MySQL Workbench 6.0.7 multiple times but it's still not working.. The server status is "Stopped"

Here's the message after trying to start the server

2014-12-09 23:08:23 - Workbench will use cmd shell commands to start/stop this instance
2014-12-09 23:08:26 - Starting server...
2014-12-09 23:08:30 - Server start done.
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Checking server status...
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Trying to connect to MySQL...
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061) (2003)
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Assuming server is not running
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Checking server status...
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Trying to connect to MySQL...
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061) (2003)
2014-12-09 23:08:31 - Assuming server is not running

My touch pad also won't scroll after the update.

This is very similar to the question found Here. According to one of the answers, I would try this out: 

Install the server as a service using this command: C:> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install

  • Sorry but I am really clueless on installing MySQL. Where will I exactly install the server as a service? I don't have the MySQL Server 5.5 folder – nubteens Dec 09 '14 at 15:45
  • Ok well from what I looked at with this answer, you need to type that in your COmmand Prompt – ryekayo Dec 09 '14 at 15:46
  • I need to type this whole thing right? C:> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install. It says the system cannot find the path specified. – nubteens Dec 09 '14 at 15:55
  • @nubteens type this in: `"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install` – ryekayo Dec 09 '14 at 15:55
  • It still says the system cannot find the path specified. – nubteens Dec 09 '14 at 16:02
  • Ok can you go to your windows explorer and look for MySQL Server, chances are you may need to change the version number... – ryekayo Dec 09 '14 at 16:04

Better you just get the Windows Installer for MySQL and let it install the server for you. That is a super easy task, no messing with the command line or manual service registration.
