Hi Mudmin, thanks for the info...not to repeat myself, but I am following that install guide video exactly, so I'm using those exact settings (localhost/root/no password/demo) to the T.

I decided to uninstall, re-download XAMPP and installed everything again. I was able to make a successful database connection this time!
However...it timed out with a fatal error. Screenshot here:

I didn't get the 'save settings' button so tried to hit 'Test Settings' again...and got a bunch of errors:

So, given that I'm using a totally clean install, exactly following that video to the letter, what assumptions are implied but not mentioned in the requirements to match the effortless results of that video?
I appreciate your time with this and Mudmin, your dedication to making this work. But I would guess, as you mentioned, that solving this will solve it for many other people as well.
