Puzzled : xamp kills

[feralrath]

i have been running web severs for many years but this is very puzzeling.

when i do a manual setup of apache/mysql/php/phpmyadmin it runs to slow to really do anything with (about 40-60seconds to load a 10kb image), but if i run "ping www.google.com -t" it returns constant values of 19-60ms every time.

when i set up xamp everthing is perfect, all sites and images load in ms instead of sec's. but if i run the same 'ping www.google.com -t' it now returns values of 1100-2500ms' constantly. making it imposiple to do anything on the internet on any computer on my network.

my sever system is:

ms win xp
1g ddr mem
amd64 2.4g

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a similar but different problem, so I'm posting it in your thread With xampp-win32-1.5.4-installer.exe Windows Explorer lags when launching applications and apache process is ~99% CPU (installed as service, automatic) .. this was so messed up so I uninstalled and everything is fine lol With xampp installed, new Windows Explorer process (anything, web browser, defragmenter) lags for up to ~10 seconds with apache taking all CPU .. this is the strangest thing
