Can anyone help me?

Are you using skype? and what message is shown in control panel when you starts apache. — Arshad Hussain, Jul 17 '14 at 04:48
@ArshadHussain: It shows "windows could not start the apache2.2 on local computer". and i m not using skpe. — , Jul 17 '14 at 04:50
From ym experience usually only two things obstruct xampp apache from starting on windows: skype port (80), and www publishing service. Make sure you turn that off. — gskema, Jul 17 '14 at 05:14

Clicking over the service management button, you can see the list of services and its statuses. Click over the apache and at the left pane you can see the start link.

Click that start link. It still not started then some service have using the port 80, most probably Skype. If skype opened already, do exit and then start apache

which means some other service right now consuming the port. Dont change port number manually in conf file that will lead some other cause later. Try finding that service and stop. – Vigneshwaran Jul 17 '14 at 05:19
just rename the xampp folder to some other name in c directory – Vigneshwaran Jul 17 '14 at 06:08
Open task manager. there you can see the apache running already. do end process and try – Vigneshwaran Jul 17 '14 at 07:01
somewhere the files in xampp should be opened already, or apache must be running. – Vigneshwaran Jul 17 '14 at 07:10
