I had to reinstall XAMPP and I downloaded the version mentioned above. When I run XAMPP nothing runs. So I go to xampp-contol.exe and run it as administrator. MySql runs but Apache does not. This is what I get from the screen:

Now the only thing I have installed that may be causing the issue is Microsoft Web Matrix. I wanted to keep it on if the XAMPP instalation did not work properly. If this is the issue is there a way around not unistalling Web Matrix or do I need to uninstall. Thank you in advance. Santia
