Windows 7 - Windows 7 & XAMPP

I have downloaded Xampp for Windows 1.7.3 - Although everything appears to install correctly Apache will not run, MySql runs just fine. in the top of the control panel I read " XAMPP Control Panel (not responding).
I have downloaded and installed the Xampp on 5 different occasions and still the same problem exists.
I have full admin rights with this PC and the software has been installed accordingly.

Any quick tips on resolving this problem?

Thanks for your help.

Stop the service "World Wide Web Publishing Service" because it use port 80 .
