XAMPP - Any help?

Well it's pretty late at night now, and I've been trying with this bloody thing for the last hour and a half and so far Google has yielded little results. So basically everything looks to work fine on it but for some reason the Apache won't start, It starts for 1 second then goes off again. I was wondering if anyone has some experience with this program? This is what I'm getting at the moment, Clicking start does nothing and neither does ticking the service button and trying to start it. Any help would be appreciated :).

press once it takes 30secs to start if it fails that then theres an error in the apache config file

isnt it to do with ports allredy in use or ports been blocked?
Thats what caused that prob with me

Problem solved, Skype was using ports used by Apache.
