...and if i try to turn on the mercury services, apache services stop...

Look in the MercuryMail configurations find and disable the MercuryMail web server or change the port to other than 80, then you will be able to run both MercuryMail and the Apache server - doing this does not effect MercuryMail sending and receiving mail.

MercuryMail by default uses port 80 for a server which must be disabled to use Apache, who also wants to use port 80 which = conflict.
