When I check the Apache error logs there are none found- it opens up a blank notepad document. I uninstalled skype and now see that nginx.exe is in port 80 and port 443.... Is this the right software? If so, why can I not get Apache to run even after uninstalling skype? I'm wildly uneducated on these matters and am struggling to run XAMPP on my windows because of the reasons shown above. Would love some help or direction to step by step instructions on a fix, thanks in advanced!

Because Skype was not the problem, the problem is nginx. You have to deinstall nginx.
