To open a command prompt (shell) try this:

And here:

But change the
sc delete Apache2 to
sc delete Apache2.2
TIP
Always try and give as much information about your issue as you can, as you can see by the numerous posts asking for more details that it will take more needless time to effect a satisfactory outcome.
The forum search facility is your best friend.

TIP
Yet another tip, for Vista in particular but not limited to it.
Try to avoid installing XAMPP to a directory that has a space in the directory (folder) name like:
C:\My Downloads\
C:\Program Files\
C:\My Budgies Perch and All Things Seedy\
etc.etc.
Get the idea?
IMHO using the root of a drive is best practice and will, for some, eliminate some hassles now and in the future.
C:\xampp\
D:\xampp\
Z:\xampp\
etc.etc.
Did you manage to get Apache working using the
'sc delete Apache2.2 command in the shell' fix?
