when i try to open my xampp http://cybercon.ws/xampp/index.php i get this on a white page The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script. How can i fix this problem

When ever you get a server error 500 always check your:
xampp/apache/logs/error.log
It will give you more of a clue as to what is wrong.

http://cybercon.ws/ is working now for me.

Drag the C:/xampp/xampp/htdocs/xampp/.htaccess file into your fav. text editor and change that line to:

AuthUserFile "C:\xampp\xampp\security\xampp.users"

Click on Save and you should be OK again.

thank you izzy got working
