My Operating system is Windows 7 64 bits. I have just installed Xampp but i am having issues on starting the Apache server on the Control panel. I ran it as an administrator and it gives me this warning:

Problem detected!

and I could find Error

ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

Please, help me to understand what I have to do.

Hi Tasha,

Please provide us the full contents of your Xampp control panel log window.
In your task manager processes tab can you identify the process with the PID 4036 (maybe you first need to unhide the PID column first)?

Best wishes,

I had problems with Java. Now Apache is running but I cannot open localhost.
