Hi Izzy
yes, i am logged in as an administrator and the version I am using is xampp-win32-1.6.6-installer
Have looked at the log files.
The original error.log said:
[Sun Feb 17 17:26:17 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.5 configured -- resuming normal operations

Apache server shutdown initiated...
After looking at your response, I renamed error.log and restarted Apache.
It created a new error.log that says:
[Wed Feb 20 21:24:31 2008] [error] (OS 5)Access is denied. : could not open transfer log file D:/xampp/apache/logs/access.log.
Unable to open logs
Have had a look at access.log and it says:
127.0.0.1 - - [17/Feb/2008:17:26:32 +0000] "GET /test.html HTTP/1.1" 200 651
127.0.0.1 - - [17/Feb/2008:17:26:32 +0000] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 30894
No clues for me there, so I renamed both error.log and access.log and restarted Apache, and it still errored (!):
[Wed Feb 20 21:35:31 2008] [error] (OS 5)Access is denied. : could not open transfer log file D:/xampp/apache/logs/ssl_request.log.
Unable to open logs
So instead of renaming files again, I just moved ALL files from Apache/logs. Then restarted Apache.
Now seems to be working..... but still not sure why?
Thanks for your help on this!
