i have installed XAMPP numerous times before on my XP based machines, with no problem, until now. The install seems to be working fine, and the xampp control panel tells me apache and mysql services have started. but when i try to access http://localhost/ it continues trying to access that address for 10 minutes and doesn't load.
So i went to my error.log, and found this:
