In a command shell, run:

netstat -b -p TCP

and look for a line that says localhost:3306 in the second column. Below this is the application's name using the port.

U probably have an application using the same port, if you have skype(mine was) you should consider turning off the automatically start on it to free the port. Run services.msc to check.
