Your port is probably blocked. try changing it to 8080

This is a least preferred option. Better to find out what is blocking a port instead.

How do you do that?. I just found last night that mysql is hooked to 8080 so no it's not a good idea to change the port to that. Sorry for the crappy answer.

Wow, that is definitely messed up. If I were you, I would start from scratch. Stop all Apache and MySQL programs/services and completely uninstall XAMPP ensuring to remove all files/folders associated. Once you are sure everything is gone, start with a clean installation and work one piece at a time. The Netstat button on your XAMPP control panel should become your friend.
