What clues are in the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file?

Yaaa Hooo.. Sharley Its worked!!! soo happy. All I did is, I installed the package from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5582 and restarted xampp, now its works fine. It seems VC9 was missing. I downloaded vcredist_x86.exe and installed it. Its working great. Thanks a lot. I appreciate yourkind help.
