  I suspect IIS running on your machine. Could you please check?
  
  Addendum:
  
  To disable IIS go to Start>Control Panel>Programs and Features. On the leftmost side you will find an option "Turn Windows features on or off", click on it and uncheck Internet Information Services. Click OK. Then restart your computer.

  OK guys
  
  Trying something more on Durga's method- i found the pid of the process
  
  1. Using command "netstat -a -o -p tcp " in comman prompt , I found the PID of port no 80 as 4 (port no 443 was not in list)
  
  2. Now I checked that process in Task Manager -It showed following information for PID=4
  
  
  Now any ideas , where could be the problem and how it can be resoved?
  
  Thanks

  If you are not installed the server,,,then what will conflict with xampp?

  @ms_cs what problem you ae getting while running? Your apache got successfully installed? It didn't gave any port no conflict?
  
  Why this is giving problem in my system only? 😔

  Use a Port scanner & check no firewall denying access to it, catch what is using your port.
  
  Use #-Link-Snipped-# or goo..sorry SEARCH for a port scanner.

  Hey thanks all of you for giving a try, now my problem is solved.
  
  If your port is being busy with SYSTEM, its better you change your configuration files in xampp installation directory rather than wasting time in finding out where that port is busy.
  
  Step 1: Go to
  Step 2: Go to ..xampp/apache/conf/extra folder inside it, you will find httpd-xampp
  Step 3: Open it and change port no 80 to 81. So confirm already existing entry looks like following in that file
  

  # Access restriction via Remote
  
  
  AllowOverride All
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "AUTH REMOTE TEST"
  AuthRemoteServer localhost
  AuthRemotePort 81
  AuthRemoteURL /forbidden/
  Require valid-user
  #User: user / Password: pass
  
  

  Step 4: Save it and close it
  Step 5: Now come out of extra folder i.e ..xampp/apache/conf folder -inside it you will find httpd file
  Step 6: Open it and change port no 80 to 81. So confirm already existing entry looks like following in that file
  

  ServerRoot "C:/xampp/apache"
  #
  # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
  # ports, instead of the default. See also the
  # directive.
  #
  # Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
  # prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
  #
  #Listen 12.34.56.78:80
  Listen 81
  
  ...
  ...
  
  #
  # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
  # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
  # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
  #
  # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
  #
  ServerName localhost:81

  Step 7: Save it and close it.
  
  Your port conflict is solved and server will get started.
  
  Many thanks to "Xero" Sir for devoting his precious time in this. 😀
