Error 0

Hey, I'm new to the group, and learning MySQL/PHP as I go. Except when starting up MySQL, I go to MySQL Sever Instance Configuration Wizard, I follow all the steps, then it can't start the service. Now I dunno why it's doing this, I had it installed once before, but removed it because I was getting the error that says a database hadnt been selected. (The tutorial I read didn't mention you had to type a command to actually make the database your working on live). I would love it if someone helped me out, I did a search for this problem using the search feature, and it didn't come up with an answer. Thank you :)

Thats what comes up on the screen. Anything in red I've added by the way.
