If u already have Apache installed and u just want the service to start in XP, do this: Right click "My Computer" icon on desktop Click "Manage" At the bottom of the list in the left view panel click the "+" next to "Services and Applications". Click on "Services" Now in the right panel where Windows Services are listed, look for Apache and MySQL. Right click each one of these, click "Properties", and set startup type as "Automatic". This does leave your system vulnerable, but u can toggle exceptions in your firewall if u need to.
