Okej can i download a new php.ini?

No, you do not have an old php.ini, your PHP uses an wrong version of php.ini on your Computer. That normally happens if people install PHP by thereself and thereafter XAMPP. Then the PHP from XAMPP is using the php.ini from the old PHP installation. Search for php.inis outside your XAMPP-Directory and delete them!

What's the value of "loaded configuration file" in phpinfo()?

D:\xampp\php\php4\php.ini

D:\xampp\php\php4\php.ini

That's the wrong file. Have you test this in the shell or with the browser?

and search for the "Loaded Configuration File"
and there it say D:\xampp\php\php4\php.ini

You must search in all *.conf files in this directory and subdirectory.
