XAMPP wont start

Question

I'm having an issue with Xampp, I have changed my port to listen to 8080 and I still cant connect. Here is my error:

12:37:13  [Apache]  Problem detected!
12:37:13  [Apache]  Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4!
12:37:13  [Apache]  Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
12:37:13  [Apache]  You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
12:37:13  [Apache]  or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different      port
12:37:13  [Apache]  Attempting to start Apache service...

Also I am having trouble with starting mySql

12:39:59  [mysql]   Problem detected!
12:39:59  [mysql]   Port 3306 in use by ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server     5.1\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini" MySQL"!
12:39:59  [mysql]   MySQL WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
12:39:59  [mysql]   You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
12:39:59  [mysql]   or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

Edit: PID 4 is used by the System, however i have changed the port to listen to port 8080, but no success.

There is also no process uses port 3306 and im unsure why mySql wont start

Have you got Skype or any other software of that type running? — Dane Caswell, Feb 28 '14 at 12:44

better yet.... here is a stack overflow link to similar question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20558410/xampp-port-80-in-use-by-unable-to-open-process-with-pid-4-12 — Dane Caswell, Feb 28 '14 at 12:48
sounds like it is already running and you are trying to start it a second time. — Gerald Schneider, Feb 28 '14 at 12:49
Run `netstat -a -b` in a command prompt, it will tell you which port is used by which program. Even though it's pretty clear with the mysql port. — Gerald Schneider, Feb 28 '14 at 12:52
EEventManager.exe is using port 3306, and port 80 says "cannot obtain ownership of that information" — Joe, Feb 28 '14 at 12:56
