Maybe the OP don't use windows services. It is recommend to just install windows services if really needed and if everything is already working without them. Windows Services can cause some issues which you don't have without them.

Thats simply wrong. The OPs Apache Server is already responsing, otherwise there wouldn't be the message that the access was denied. This page already was served by apache.
