Run
tasklist /fi "PID eq 4"
to find which process locks port 80

Hi,

It means that some other process is already using port 80.

Here is how to check what is using port 80:
1. Open Command Prompt window.
2. Type netstat -aon
3. Look for the one ending in :80 and notice PID number.
4. Open Task Manager.
5. Click on Processes tab.
6. View -> Select Columns... Check the PID and press OK.
7. Now you should be able to see which process matches up with the PID number you noted earlier.

BTW, Skype might be using port 80. :)
