XAMPP Lite, Windows Vista, and php5apache2_2.dll
I recently ran into a nightmare when needing to use my father's laptop for development. My XAMMP Lite USB install, which worked perfectly on my Windows XP desktop, was giving the following error when trying to start Apache:

![Simple Image Lazy Load and Fade]()
One of the quickest and easiest website performance optimizations is decreasing image loading. That means a variety of things, including minifying images with tools like ImageOptim and TinyPNG, using data URIs and sprites, and lazy loading images. It's a bit jarring when you're lazy loading images and they just...
I think thats a DLL that gets installed with .NET.
I would have loved to have known that back in April when I had to set up LAMP on a Vista laptop. Yikes, was it a nightmare!!! AT least I know the fix now. Thanks!!!!!
