I not sure if this is the same problem, but here is how I fixed it on
my Windows XP Pro.

It is IIS that is listening on port 80. I fixed this by going to the
control panel and click on Administrative Tools icon then Internet
Information Services icon. Click on the Web Sites folder. Right click
on Default Web Site icon and scroll down to properties. Change the
listen port to something other than 80, I chose 8080. Apache worked
fine after I did this. I am new to apache so I hope this s
someone. I know it took me a while to figure this problem out.
