Given that the "pear" command won't run now, I don't think we can restore things that way. If your setup is such that you are fine with upgrading to the newest PEAR installer packages (v1.9.0), which is still compatible with your PHP 5.1.6, you could try the initial installation instructions for installing on Windows [1]. Given that this is XAMPP, though, I'm not sure if some PHP packages already installed (e.g. phpMyAdmin) could be adversely affected. -- CRB [1] -- http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php
