This happens sometimes, give this a try:

  1. Click "Config" button
  2. Select "httpd.conf" from the dropdown.
  3. On the line where it says "Listen 80" change that to "Listen8080"
  4. Save the file.
  5. Close the file.
  6. Open browser and type " localhost:8080 "
  7. Smile because it worked.

You have installed Apache already before installing XAMPP. The error is because Apache is configured to work with a particular port.

The best way to solve this would be to stop the old Apache service from running.

Go to control panel->administrative tools->services and look for Apache.

Under the Status tab it says Running.

Click on it and set it to stop.

Now restart your Xampp and start Apache.

It looks like there is another apache process running which has the access to the port.

Have you tried using task manager to stop this process?

Also, you can look in control panel->administrative tools->services

You could have installed apache as a windows service which is started by default on boot up.
