You can start Apache or run it as services.

Anyway, I believe that you have downloaded XAMPP 1.7.2 that contains PHP 5.3.0. At present Joomla! is not certified to work with PHP 5.3.0. You have to use a lesser version of PHP (e.g., PHP 5.2.9). So, uninstall/delete the current version of 1.7.2.

Download XAMPP 1.7.1 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ and install it. It should solve your problem.

Note: Use the file xampp-win32-1.7.1-installer.exe and it has better interface for starting and stopping various services such as Apache and MySQL.
