xampp (apache only) memory leak when run as service

I'm runnig xampp (apache only) on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit virtual machine and I get cpu locks and memory leak if apache is run as service and no such problems if it's run under normal user.

Anyone has any ideas how to solve this?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the culprit. Our php programmer was using WINWORD.EXE to convert docx to pdf, which caused WINWORD.EXE to start with SYSTEM account and that was the source of CPU load an memory leak (got to 1.7 GB, when I finally killed it) - looks like WINWORD.EXE doesn't like to be run under SYSTEM account with no access to GUI...
