   I wan to install Wordpress locally on my pc/Windows XP. Running xampp-control the Apache switches off immediately, so I cannot use my localhostpage.
   Any recommendations?

   XP what? Home? Pro?
   Run the port-check file in the xampp directory?
   Tried the xampp forums?

   And make sure if it's Pro that you've disabled windows' own inbuilt server.

   I realized I didn't mention the solution:
   I ran the port check file and found out that the Apache (html) was taken by Skype, so I shut Skype down and everything went smoothly.
   Thanks again.
