While my userid is also the system administrator id, I did not run the program as aministrator I exited from the program and ran it as aministrator. After pressing that Start button for apache I got the same message. So now we're down to blocked port, missing dependences, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
I checked the error log for Apache, but there was nothing in the file. I checked the event viewer, but the only error listed for today was at approx. 8:30 am this morning involving Adobe Acrobat. It is after 4pm right now, I wasn't working with XAMPP this morning, so I take it this error event is not what I'm looking for.
There was no crash or shutdown. That leaves us with blocked port or missing dependencies, neither of which am I capable of assessing without help.
I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanaks,
Barbara
