can seem to run OpenEMR on lesser Xampp version like 1.7.1, also can get the xampp (the version 1.7.3 that comes with the OpenEMR Version) to run on windows xp platform. Does anyone have any solution to these issues
would appreciate any advice available.

If you are running XP server, it might be a conflict with a IIS that is already running.

XP does not have IIS on it by default. Only Windows Server versions do (2003, 2008 etc…) and you still have to tell it to start looking at port 80 to begin with…and that would not stop apache from running at all.
Are you using xampp control panel to start? Is it (apache)installed as a service?
Which xampp version do you want to work with?

Run Task Manager or Windows Process Explorer and check to see if httpd is running. Either way, install apache as a service, make sure mysql is installed as a service. For the experiment, you might as well run xampp control panel as a servce, and have it start the other services.
Reboot and see what happens.
