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.

I've been running IIS for a while now and I'm really sick of it and all it's
security flaws. I decided today to upgrade to Apache, so I download the msi
from the Apache website. I install it, but once it tries to install it as a
service onto my XP Pro box, it gives me an error telling me that port 80
cannot be used. IIS ran on port 80 and I uninstalled it, rebooted, but I got
the error.
I've tried reinstalling Apache, rebooting, and pretty much everything I know
to do. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
