This may not be an XAMPP server issue.
The link that gets the image and puts it in your web page may not always be available or may take some time to load in your page.
To test this when you don't see an image is to copy the image link from your script and paste it directly into the address bar of your browser
For example:
http://counter.com/counterimage.jpg
Check your script for the correct counter image address.
If the counter image server is working then you will see the counterimage.jpg.
If the counter image server is congested or down then you will not see the image and your browser may
time out the connection waiting for it to load.
This is not an uncommon issue when having third party content loaded dynamically into your pages. The delays or no display at all can be caused by the counter device's server being overloaded or down for maintenance etc.
When I restart apache (stop server and apache_stop.bat) because when I click on stop apache only in control panel I can not start apache again.
This needs to be checked out why this is happening.
Before starting the XAMPP Control Panel make sure that apache and mysql etc. are stopped.
Use the Windows
Task Manager (right click on the Task Bar and select it) to check that no apache or any other XAMPP component Processes are running.
Kill any that might be running.
Then start the XAMPP Control Panel and use it exclusively or use the bat files instead of the XCP exclusively. See if that helps.

Take a look at the new
DeskTopXampp launch control for
XAMPP and
XAMPPlite (DTX.exe)
