Boy, this sounds a lot like the problems I had when I was using an earlier version of OpenEMR which had a conflict actually caused by the wrong versions of Xampp and MySQL.
So, since you are a nubee, can I presume you are starting from scratch with a download? Is it the latest 3.1.0 for Windows? If not, I can only suggest that you delete your whole Xampp folder and start over with the correct one.
Before you do that, though, make certain if you have anything in data which you cannot re-enter, you may have to first do the updates of Xampp and MySQL to get to the correct versions. Let me know what your versions are and how far along you are, and we’ll go from there.
