Hi,

Whenever I have this problem, the cause usually is another program that is already using port 80, which Apache is trying to bind to. In my case, Skype is almost always the culprit, so what I do is simply start Apache before starting up Skype.

You can use this new Control Panel http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=46743 to figure out which programs are using which ports. Just click on the "Netstat" button and it'll show you a list with that information.
