Apache Stops Working

[SchalkHolloway]

Hi guys,

I'm using Xampp 1.8.3-1 on Windows 8 64bit with the 3.2.1. Control Panel. I did the normal installation on both Xampp and Joomla (using the BitNami installer). I got the following two messages and I'm not sure what to do. Could you please help?

The log window from which you retrieved these messages give you two actions you can take to make troubleshooting easy. At the bottom, it says to copy the entire window contents. At the top of those contents it says you aren't running with administrator rights. Do those two things and you can take the next step to get up and running.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried running it with administrator and got the same message. Seems to be ok now.
