Hi Andre, I wasn’t expecting such a quick reply but thanks! Answers to each question follows: 1) Services List - in Windows XP Pro > Start ? Control Panel > Administrative > Services.

Yes. Obviously, the Apache installer did not install Apache, at least not as a Service.. But it seems to have installed that little tray icon and its corresponding program, and even have started it. So let's try to download and run the Installer again, but before that, we must remove the service if it was installed partially before. For that, click Start..Settings..Control Panel. Then select "Programs" or "Installed software" or something similar (I don't remember precisely how it's called on an English Windows (orwhatever you use)). Look for an item named "Apache 2.2 ..", and if it is there click "remove".
If it is not there, just continue. Download the installer again from the Apache website, and try running it again, making sure you let it do all it has to do and wait until it probably pops up a message asking if it should start the service now. While installing, note in which disk directory it installs, that may be useful later. (If this is your own test laptop, I suggest changing the default install directory, to C:\Apache2.2, that will make your life easier later). I have used this same installer to install Apache 2.2 several times under Windows, XP included, so I have little doubt that it works. But maybe under your particular Windows version or configuration, it does not. That's the interesting part with installing things under Windows, there is always an element of mystery and suspense.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
