execute apache_start.bat and tell us its output.

AH00526: Symtax error on line 1 of C:/Users/Greg/Desktop/XAMPP/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
invalid command 'F#' perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration?

So, what are the first lines of your httpd.conf?

here is the first few lines of the httpd.com

F#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#

Delete the F at the very first line
