okay, well i recently installed windows 7 build 7600 32bit on my system, and i went and downloaded the latest version of xampp. i started to noticed most things were not working properly. for starters, xampp never started up when i booted up. the mysql database worked somewhat, was only able to use phpMyAdmin but once i went to view my pages i've made they could never connect to the db. i checked over and over the user login for the db and everything was correct. but still nothing, even tried changing the user login for it and still nothing. This became very frustrating. I even removed xampp and reinstalled it of course doing the rightclick and run as admin. just never wanted to work proper. my only solution so far was to actually downgrade to 1.6.6 which was what i used last on my XP Pro system. and everything worked fine.
how come between the latest version and the older version are different like that. dont you think the latest version would still work just like the old one but with fixes here and there?
