Hi.

I am running Apache2 on several Windows XP SP2 stations, usually as a 
service, under various Windows national versions, and have no problem.

Maybe try to run it from the command-line ?
cd to the top Apache directory, and enter :
bin\httpd -e debug

When i do that, it starts in the command window, not as a service, 
display a few messages about what it's loading (see below), then it 
stops displaying messages and just works (as a webserver I mean). I 
don't get startup errors of course, but maybe you'll see something in 
the window telling you why it doesn't start properly.
End with CTRL-C.

Maybe something else : under Unix, to be able to open a listening port 
below 1024, one needs root privileges.  Possibly under Windows, one 
needs Administrator or LocalSystem privileges.  When opening your 
command window, better be logged in as a local administrator.
