Apache Friends Support Forum

I uninstalled xampp-win32-1.6.5-installer.exe and tried to reinstall, now I get this error every time I click Admin on xampp control panel for mysql:

Access violation at 10002593 in modual 'LIBMSQL.dll'. Read of address 00000000

I looked in PHP.ini and I have this: extension=php_mysql.dll uncommented.

I then tried this fix, for sticking as I read on this forum. Problem still present.

Open a command prompt
Click start
Click on Run...
Type: cmd.exe

Remove old or sticky services.
Apache
Type:
sc delete apache2.2
(or sc delete apache if an older XAMPP)
Click OK

MySQL
Type:
sc delete mysql
Click OK

OS=XP Pro

I did have a friend mess with it that swore he knew what he was doing prior to problems starting, what is messed up please?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Problem Solved. Seems when friend reinstalled xampp that windows remembers the passwords. And he didnt. I kept clicking on the My.iniSetup in the control panel between warnings and added:

user=myusername
password=my password
user=root
password=root password

Then clicked save modification. Then in phpmyadmin I had to reload privaliges.
