found my problem. Unknown to me (as this is a work computer) I had Aventail installed on my machine. I saw this error can sometimes occur with Aventail installed. When I tried to uninstall it, I had all kinds of issues. After I had my machine reimaged by our support staff (without the addition of Aventail), I was able to get Apache working. Thanks for the help!

This being said, it sounds like it stops dead in it's tracks, but after loading the modules. The little I know would seem to indicate that it would stop just at the moment when the main startup instance tries to "fork" (or under Windows probably start threads) to start handling requests. Maybe you could try removing some of the modules, starting at the end (mod_setenvif) ? By the way, is that the last module mentioned to be loaded in your configuration ? And also, how much memory do you have on that station (real and virtual) ? André P.S.
