Though this isn't stricly a PHP question - here we go: It sounds as if IIS didn't really go away...
There's a nice utility out there that lets you know what ports are active and in use ... It's called Active Ports (duh!) and is a small download from http://www.ntutility.com (section /freeware.html). Though it needs admin rights to run I found this very useful. Alternatively you could just open a command shell and: telnet localhost 80 if the connection is opened type "GET /" to check what might be answering ... (there's no local echo, so you're typing blind). If all else fails you can always edit apache's configuration file in notepad: C:\program files\apache2\apache\conf\httpd.conf (or some such) and tell it to listen on another port (like the ever popular 8080 for example) .. the config file is very well documented, you shouldn't have a problem finding your way.
