Problem with xampp and apache

Hallo!
I do my first steps in building a web server. I used the xampp
environment to install apache, MySql and so on. When I started apache
the first time during the installation procedure, I got the message,
that port 80 is used by another instance.
Now, when apache is started by the xampp control paneel under windows
2003 server environment it stops.
What can I do?

Best regards

use the command:
netstat -a -n -b -p TCP
from a CMD shell as administrator to find the process that
is LISTENING on :80

Example output:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
[apache.exe]
TCP 0.0.0.0:119 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
[javaw.exe]

You will probably find IIS is still running.
Stop and disable the IIS service, or use Apache on another
port (like :8080).
