Could some tell me how reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port. Problem started after I installed Microsoft visual web developer and I guess this is causing a conflict?

You need to change two directives (Listen and ServerName) in your \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf to a different number than 80
After that you need to specify the same port in your XAMPP control panel configuration menu (Config => Service and Port Settings => Apache).

If your Port 443 is occupied too you need to do that with port 443 too. This setting is in your \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf and again in the control panel at the same place as the Main Port configuration.

Thanks Altrea
Will give that a go will let you know cheers.
