Apache Friends Support Forum

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>>(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. :make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, sutting down
I have checked the ports at the command prompt and they are listening. Here is the page:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>netstat -an |find "80"
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:1801 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:1092 72.247.146.10:80 CLOSE_WAIT

I also checked port 443 with the following results
TCP 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

I tried the xampp portcheck and it said that
SERVICE PORT STATUS
Apache <HTTP> 80 C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe
Apache <WebDAV> 81 free
Apache <HTTPS> 443 C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe
So I am officially lost.
I am running XP pro sp3.
I tried running Apache from the Services (Local) but it just tells me it can not and to check the event log which is above.
I have already uninstalled and rolled my system back a couple of days to a clean configeration.
I have unselected the 80 443 ports on Skype
I have tried to start Apache with my firewall, antivirus off and no dice.
I installed Winsock2 XP fix but that did not work.
I have been stuck here for two days now, please help!

This is the server that is listening on the ports that Apache requires exclusively and is the Windows IIS.

You will need to disable IIS:
