  <p>Please note that Skype is not running, and i even tried changing the port to 81 by editing httpd.conf. Still I have unchecked "use port 80 and 443 or additional incoming connections" 
  After changing port number to 81 I went to Command prompt and used command </p>
  
  <pre><code>netstat -nab
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I did not get any applications using port 81. I'm done restarting XAMPP and my computer.</p>
