i would suggest that you back up your files, then uninstall it then reinstall it with the new version that just cam out a few weeks ago.

you serious? i dont know how to back up, how do i back up my database,what files need to be saved in xampp if i MUST reinstal?
no other alternatives?

i'm deffinately not a profession

but when you use the uninstall it asks whether or not you want to delete the mySql databases and also asks if you want to delete the htdocs folder. and if you do it i'd suggest you also back up the htdocs folder by copying everything in it to another place. but the uninstaller is pretty safe.

and really there might be other alternatives to fix the issue.
but really reinstalling is one, i believe

now my next question is, which version of xampp r u running?

heres the verion im running.
xampp-win32-1.5.0-pl1-installer.



any help as of why this has happened and how to fix it would be nice !

ok first off there is a newer version out.

and for anymore help i'd suggest you just keep waiting for someone to reply here.

thanks for the reply, i know about the newer version...scared shitless to instal it over what i have, will it change anything/ still waiting on WHy it has instaled itself or attatched itself to my documents inside C:/ . says xampp is running under the ' system account ' anyone out there who can help, thanks ! site in question is http://sa3bin.com yes it's up for now, problem being it doesnt STAY up.

sry i couldn't be of more help
