Wampserver icon not going green fully, mysql services not starting up?

Question

I'm running an application on localhost, it's been running successfully for at least a year now, but suddenly today wampserver isn't starting up. Whenever I rightclick on the taskbar icon and "start all services", it gets orange, but never green. Yesterday there was a data loss problem because one of the mysql tables crashed and had to be repaired, if that's related to this in any way.

If I try http://localhost/phpmyadmin, I get a 403 Forbidden error, which I never got before.

I checked the apache log today and its latest entries are:

Lines 25 and 26 on index_exe.php are simply as below (I was trying to log in to the application):

$userName = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['userName']);
$Password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Password']);

Because of the [2002] No connection could be made because the target machine actively (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306 error, I figured maybe there's a problem with some other application using the same port, so I tried the following (my wamp is running on D:) :

But now I don't know what to make of this. I made sure my.ini had specified port 3306, and it had (anyway noone changed it in a year how could it suddenly have another value). Any help please! I think Apache is working because when I type in http://localhost, it works and gives the option to go to phpmyadmin or my application folder, but it appears mysql services aren't starting up or something? I confirmed with the admin and no new software (such as Skype) have been installed or anything.

Update

I went to Services.msc and checked wampapache, the status was "started". But wampmysqld had no status. So I right-clicked and chose "Start". A message said "Windows is attempting to start the service on the local computer", but then I got this error:

Windows could not start the wampmysqld service on Local Computer
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly

What on earth is up? :(

Update 2

I got the mysql working again, here:

mysqld working but wampmysqld not starting up

HowEVER, localhost://phpmyadmin still gives me a 403 forbidden error, and mysql_connect keeps giving me an "Access denied" error.

Answer 1

-Go to Task Manger -End all task instances of mysql -restart your wampserver
