in the install of xampp there is a php folder with a pear.bat file when i run this file i get "crl stoped working".
Is this the actual error message?
Try and open a
command prompt in the
php directory instead of double clicking on the
pear.bat file (
it may be a Vista permission thing as I don't have Vista either) then type
pear.bat at the
command prompt and paste back here the actual error message please.
To get a command prompt right-click on any folder on your Windows Vista machine while holding down the shift key.
You'll see an extra context-sensitive menu item there:
Open Command Prompt here.

When I do the above I get the below info back without doing anything at all to "get pear working" and without Apache running.
Of course to use it as intended the Apache server should be running.

C:\xampp\php>
In the php directory there are 6 pear files:
pear.bat
pear.ini
peardev.bat
pear-installall.php
pera-installed-pkg.txt
pearlist.txt
All installed by default with your XAMPP installation.
If all those are there then all would appear to fine with XAMPP and you would have to suspect that it is a Vista issue and unless anyone on these forums has had similar problems and reads your post then the quickest way of effecting a solution might be on the Windows forums under Vista.
Sorry if I am not much help but the above command prompt idea might be a Vista solution.
Let us know back if you find a acceptable solution please.
As a favor to me and just to help with the quality of this forum would you mind deleting or at least masking your expletive.
I can understand your frustrations with the quality of some of the replies to your posts.
