1. Open cmd prompt and check apache's syntax is okay like this, where apache is installed to D:\xampp\apache ;

D:\xampp\apache\bin>winmysqladmin
D:\xampp\apache\bin>mysqld
D:\xampp\apache\bin>apache -t
If you get "syntax OK", you can run apache with :
Service Install : D:\xampp\apache\bin>apache -k install
Run : D:\xampp\apache\bin>apache -k start
Restart : D:\xampp\apache\bin>apache -k restart
Stop : D:\xampp\apache\bin>apache -k stop

2. If you have syntax error, with "apache -t", open apache\httpd.conf with script editor like ultraedit, and check the line mentioned on syntax error. I guess you should have wrong indications at "ServerRoot" "Listen(Port)", "ServerName" and "DocumentRoot".

3. If you get syntax error upon php, open "apache\bin\php.ini" and check "extension_dir = D:\xampp\php\extensions\" or others it quoted.

4. You need to check mysql installation also.
