Hi

I just installed xampp on WIN98 and I am having some problems with MySql.
I can not stop it from the xampp control panel. When I try to do so, I receive a windows "ilegal operation" message.
Cliking on "close" or "debug" partialy stucks windows. For example, I can't do alt+contro+del.
The same happens if I choose STATUS at localhost menu.

Any suggestions?

I have the same problem! When i click start button everything is fine but when click the stop button log windows says it is stopped but mysql it's still running.
Somehow i manage to open winmysqladmin and then prompts illegal operation. I thought the problem was "not found driver 3.51 in my odbc"! Then, i've installed it but nothing happened.
Please help!

some more information that maybe can help others helping me:
when I try to open mysql by console, after the "ilegal operation" I receive this messages:
