After setting up XAMPP a few months ago on a Windows 2000 Pro computer so I can work on a couple sites offline without FTPing files every time I change something, I am getting major memory leak.

Everything is fine for about an hour then ZoneAlarm shuts down then Apache and MySQL goes into error. Then after closing these programs my memory usage is still showing 1231922K being used out of 2204748K.

To solve this I have been restarting my computer every couple of hours until now. After searching and some more searching I have found a solution to this huge problem. Instead of starting up Apache and MySQL with the XAMPP Control Panel, I now start it up with xampp_start.exe, restart it with xampp_restart.exe, and stop it with xampp_stop.exe. You can find these files in your xampp folder.
