Installed XAMPP so I could work on WordPress site before going public, however, when I go to the XAMPP control panel (v3.0.12) the Apache module will not start. Operating Windows 7

reintall apache and xampp. ensure youare using the correct version for W7
Are you attempting to start it as a service or are you just hitting the start button in the control panel?
Install WAMP, see if that works.

Okay, try WAMP just to be safe. If WAMP works, then uninstall/reinstall XAMPP to see if that fixes it.
