Apache is constantly shutting down for me. I have a feeling it it because I have VMWare on my laptop

I'm getting the error message

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
22:34:17 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
22:34:17 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
22:34:17 [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
22:34:17 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
22:34:17 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
22:34:17 [Apache] entire log window on the forums
22:38:17 [main] Executing "services.msc"

Any help would be appreciated.

To add further, the XAMPP Control Panel is v3.2.2, I'm using Windows 8

Any information would be appreciated.
