Each time I try to start Mysql in the xampp control panel I get the mysql screen for about two seconds before it vanishes to be replaced by a continuously repeating error message, "access violation at address 10002593 in module libmysql.dll Read of address 000000" The only way to stop it is to click the traffic lights in the user tray and stop the service. (I'm a mac user who occasionally uses an IBM T30 laptop).
Xampp is running (or not in this case) on the IBM with windows xp pro. Any ideas or advice on what this is and how to deal with it?
Many thanks
