I have a windows xp box and installed XAMPP. Everything seems fine, but I get this violation after i boot my computer or when I click on Admin for MySql in the XAMPP control panel application. The only way I can stop the message from popping up is to open task manager and delete it.

WinMySQL Admin 1.4

Access violation at address 1000A1F7 in module "LIBMYSQL.dll" read of address 00000000

I have not done much to since to set up the environment. Just added passwords to MySql and XAMPP.

I am tempted to reinstall but I would like to fix this though understanding, not brute force if possible.

Don't use this button.

Remove "WinMySQLAdmin" from your StartUp folder.

Sorry for the redundant post.

I had same problem with Access Violation.
I removed "WinMySQLAdmin" from the startup menu, but now get error "Mysql service not started".

Running winmysqladmin.exe from c:\xampp\mysql brings the admin window up but only for about 2 seconds.

I am using WinXP.

Here is another possible solution related to passwords if there is no entry now in your startup folders.

Essentially you need to go to the my.ini setup in WinMySQLAdmin change the my.ini by removing the password.

1. Start WinMySQLAdmin
3. click the "my.ini setup" tab
4. find the line with the password
5. delete the second occurrence of "password" (after the "=" sign)
6. click save modifications

The error pop ups should stop.

BTW WinMySQLAdmin is deprecated and should not be used for any meaningful purpose - only a curiosity now and perhaps the link in the XAMPP CP should really be changed to a link to phpMyAdmin.

Use the preferred GUI phpMyAdmin instead for all things MySQL related or search these forums for a possible alternative from the MySQL web site.
