XAMPP Apache Help

Hi,
I'm currently trying to get XAMPP to work so I can use it to help me revise for an university exam but it wont work. I know that the version of XAMPP works because it worked on university computers but for some reason it won't work on my laptop, I had this problem before but couldn't solve it even after reading forums online. The Apache side of XAMPP won't start, it just flashes on and then goes off straight away. It says its assigned to Port 80 so I have tried looking for what service is using port 80 and I haven't found anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Jon, thanks for the reply,
At the moment I cant see an error, the only thing it says in the control panel when I try to start the Apache is: "Busy...""Apache started [Port 80]". Thats the only error I know of at the moment,

Am I right in thinking that because the same version of XAMPP worked elsewhere yesterday, that the fact it isn't working on my machine is down to my network?
Thanks,
Nick

I have deleted your secomd thread. Please don't double post! Help will not be faster.
if there are no new entrys in your log files, apache has a bigger problem.
Please open your Windows command line and start your \xampp\apache_start.bat
Do you get any error messages?
